He has established connections who will tell him the truth. I also think he's similar to Jimmy Johnson. A big reason Jimmy was so successful in the early 90's at drafting is that he'd spent years recruiting and, therefore, had added insight into the players. The longer he was away from college, the less successful he was at drafting. It will be interesting if this plays out the same for Nico.
Interesting theory on Jimmy. Sonny Vicarro had the kind of connections (and an eye) that I’m talking about. My favorite part of that movie was him breaking down the game winning shot when Michael was a freshman. I’d never noticed any of that or seen anyone break it down like that. It was really cool.
