PCTI IIIII Draft and State of the Offseason... Addressed.

Date: Tuesday, October 29th.
Time: 8 pm CST, 9 pm EST, 6 pm BCT.
Location: Google Hangout on the PCTI Network.

Some would say PCTI had the most steam moving into the offseason that it's ever had since it's rookie year. Combining the most competitive tournament with arguably the best trip to date, everyone was looking forward to what the down time had to offer. 

Then some things happened... Anthony Hopkins started his MBA classes.  Fruit Man Danie started a job in which he actually had to work.  The Actor started acting.  Beasley entered the business world.  Four big blows when you factor in what each usually brings.

It gets worse.  We find out The Don (in one of the most selfish moves I've ever seen) picks a night to pleasure his wife for the millionth time.  In a careless act, he impregnates her, with a due date of April 2014. Where is the regard for PCTI?  Despicable.

Here is the good news... None of that matters.  All it took to get back on track was one brilliant post made by PCTI's favorite Actor, followed by a creative workout montage in which The Don managed to not only find an empty gym, but found an insane person to follow him around videotaping his every move... He even got the producer to do some voiceover work.  Incredible.

That brings us to two days out of what will be the most colorful collection of captains PCTI has ever had. With Wilson, you get a guy that everyone loves being around.  He will be fun on email chains.. And he has a masters in Sports Management, which means he has learned a lot about how to draft a team, manage a salary cap, etc.  All very important.  All that being said, you have to question his leadership and ability in the locker room.  A notorious nice guy with a bad attitude on court, you can't help but to wonder if that will rub off on his teammates in his new leadership role.  

Enter Abe, PCTI's most decorated player and coach.  He put together the best team in PCTI history.  He has multiple MVP awards to his name.  He plays hard.  He keeps his mouth shut.  He competes.  He's smart.  He wins.  

I imagine Wilson is a little intimidated going into his first draft as captain.  He is 0-4 and going up against the only 4-0 PCTI athlete.  A guy that enjoys the stage, I expect him to get preoccupied being funny in the Hangout, while Abe runs circles around him sticking to his board.  

Expect Abe to wipe the floor with Wilson on draft day... And do the same come April.

  1. One has to wonder if the chasm between Wilson and Krow can be bridged, or if they simply enjoy the divergence.
