This is brilliant
Honestly, this is what I'd do with all of the 2nd round picks. Neto came over that one summer and made himself a part of the culture. Then he went back to play in Europe and for the Brazilian national team, worked hard and earned a shot at the NBA. I'd do whatever is allowed to cover their housing expenses and their training, and then put them into the middle of my program. If they fit, and it helps. . . you've perfectly used the draft and stash technique. It's what they should have done with Tomic ever since they went exclusively to training at P3 in the offseason. Maybe he is more likely to make the jump from Barcelona if he knows, likes and respects his prospective teammates.
