I'm disappointed we couldn't snag a center with the second 1st. Sadly, they flew off the board in the 20s (Hage, Surin, Beaudoin, Letourneau), so in absence of a trade up and with the board that was dealt to them, might as well swing for the fences. I like what I've read about him. Decent size, good scorer.

So Gridin in a nutshell is fine. I just really, really wish this franchise could start drafting centers at some point. It's frustrating.
