Gio wasn't a bad pick, and he definitely fills the veteran leadership need for a new locker room. That said, if they don't trade him at the deadline or otherwise re-sign him for a few more years, it will have been a poor choice in hindsight.

I thought he would be perfect for an expansion team as well. He had showed a lot of potential the year before but then due to un-fortuitist circumstance, didn't get into many games last season.
Gio was the oldest player ever picked by an expansion team. It's just something that they typically don't do, so I was a little surprised when they did pick him.
