Avon Blocksdale is a not a bitter man. Well he kind of is. He's still peeved he went in the 4th round. Don't get him wrong, he's a very happy man to be on the Baltimore Hawks but he remembers very well sitting on his cough with his family and seeing players go before him.
Dermot Lavelle, Blaster Blade, Tim Pest, Vincent Sharpei, Bork Bjornsson, Gregor Clegane, Fox North, Micah Hendrix. The first round came and went without anything from Avon. He wasn't shocked but he was angry.
The comes the second round. Darnell Turner, Brokk Lee, Jordan Yates, Tyler Oles, Kevin Cushing, Ardie Savea, Roman Thomas, Dustin Evans. Wow. Another round and Avon was now beginning to wonder why he was falling. He felt he had a higher ceiling than essentially any other prospect.
Now in the third round we saw some no names. Drew Davidson, Owen Taylor, Enchilada Charlton, Jorge Masvidal, Perry Tucker, Ragner Kronen, Paul DiMirio and Scotty Timlin. Absurd. Embarrassing. Devastation.
Then came the fourth round. Marcus Kane (scrub). Alonzo Charles (major bust). Dieter Koch (awesome teammate, great guys, decent player). And then finally. At 28. Here comes Avon Blocksdale. The player who will go down as one of the biggest steals in 4th round history is selected by the Baltimore Hawks. Avon didn't celebrate. He didn't do much at all. He nodded his head and was proud. He had a list of players and teams to prove wrong. 243
