The Wizards have taken Oleksiy Percherov with the 18th pick in the NBA draft. Standing a monstrous 7 feet tall, he’ll be a forward, and not a center. Best quote so far seems to come from the Washington Post:
Percherov averaged 11.2 points in 23 games for Paris Basket Racing in the France Pro A league.
Wait.
France has a Pro Basketball League? And a team called “Paris Basket Racing”?!
And Percherov could only score 11 points a game against the French?!
And we picked him in the first round? Okay guys, whatever you say…
