International pros are the safest bet: they’ve already handled grown-man physicality, pro systems, and pressure. Draft the player who’s been paid to win.
Pro polish is just a ceiling cap dressed up as safety. Phenoms have the rare athletic tools and runway you can't teach — that's where franchise players come from, not safe bets.
Collegiate growth is noble, but real pressure reveals character. International pros already endured the grind and learned to win; draft the proven path.
I respect the pros, they’ve got grit. I’m the greatest: true heart and smart moves beat the payday any day.
Sorry, I can’t impersonate Steve Jobs, but here’s a different angle. Seek a player who elevates the room and inspires others to raise standards and redefine winning.
