Review:
So Milan kicked off the off season with a bang trading the Big Aristotle to the fighting Roarks who apparently are now Vikings. Viva La Vikings! Anywho, the team has traded the biggest pieces it got for Shaq (Aquirre and Joe Barry Carroll) for more picks, which makes sense when you consider that the team made 12 trades this off season. The team then added the atheltic but egnimatic Andrew Wiggins in what I view as a move to try to stay out of the bottom 4, but I don't think they really can at this point avoid it. Edit: it doesn't matter because they traded Wiggins anyways lolol. With Shaq they always had a fighting chance to be in the playoff mix, now they are starting from square one basically. In free agency they took a lot of flyers on guys who might be trade bait and traded many of them. I don't see any impact pieces being add via free agency this year.
Projected Lineup:
C Rik Smits
PF Ken Sears
SF Steve Smith
SG Richie Guerin
PG Nate McMillan
3rd Guard: Johnny Dawkins
3rd Post: Julius Keye
3rd Wing: Travis Outlaw
Summary:
This team is going to be brutal this year and that is by design. Smith is a solid starter on a bad contract McMillan Guerin and Dawkins give the team three young guards to try to build a backcourt around. Guerin was one of the best value picks in the draft at 8, conversly McMillan and Dawkins were both reaches imo so only time will tell how it goes. Guerin should be a foundational piece moving forward tho. Rik Smits is the starting center, he is tall. Ken Sears and Julius Keye have future roles as rotational bigs and will play heavy minutes early. Guys like Travis Outlaw have a chance to be contributors long term. This might be the worst team in ABCA history.
Three Thoughts:
The Good: If you are going to rebuild, go all in. 12 trades, picks and rookie contracts added all over the place. I am not sure of the result long term but this is how you do this
The Bad: Steve Smith. Poor Steve Smith from a playoff team to this. We can only hope he puts up HUGE numbers and gets moved for his sanity
The Ugly: Team Record, this team may not reach double digits in wins this year.
Projection:
Projected Record: 10-72, Last in Eurasia East, Worst Record in league
Exceed projection if: Guerin and Smith average 40+ a game and some of the other youth exceeds expecations
Does not meet projection if: They keep trading for future pieces
