Well, that was a fun and interesting day.
I'm encouraged by the fact that this guy was completely off the board one year ago, and in the course of that year managed to rise to the level of a second round ranked, first round picked player.
I'll take the Malcolm Gladwell approach to this: if he started the year ranked 1000th, and ended the year ranked 42nd, that tells you how good he must have been in the last couple of months, i.e., one of the very best players going.
If nothing else, I like the sense of adventure here.
