Maybe, but that´s exactly confirming the reservations I had before the game about him. I brought up his name many months ago, but I have since backed off him as a pick, cause I just have major doubts that he has the athletic ability for the NBA. I think he is lucky that he missed the combine. I think we would have bombed in most of the athletic tests. He looks good on highlights, cause he can clearly work passing angles and lobs, but they usually don´t put defense or offensive struggles on highlight reels. I think he has the brains, passing skills and court vision to be an NBA back-up, but I don´t think he can stay on the court athletically.
If they can develop De Larrea into an NBA player, then I give them major credit to their strength vs. weakness assessment/evaluation and player development. Cause unlike with a Luka or Rubio there is no actual evidence he can hang with NBA talent, but I can see how he´d stood out at the youth level, where the players are not fully matured physically and his combination of passing/court vision and size succeeds.
Well it´s over. They rolled over Barcelona.
