This is my first entrant for the 2013 FBA Draft! Go Diego go!!
I only recently discovered the 'degu' at a pet store not all that long ago, its a kind of bush tailed rat, kinda like a kangaroo rat - they come from around Chile, and they are so AWESOME. I would really love to own one! Anyway, as soon as I saw the degu, I knew a dgu had to be one of my FBA stable this year, so here he is!
The Pajaro Fuego Academy in Spain is sending four picks for consideration for this years FBA Draft, and the most notable from the city of Madrid is the young degu (brush tailed rat) forward Diego Imperio. Lauded by many in the cosmopolitan city, Diego Imperio tends to shun the limelight and prefers to concentrate on his game which is simply racking up decent scores of points. Diego has rarely been the top point scorer in games, but has a strange record of managing to finish second in scoring for his team nearly every time, making him an ideal support player and one dependable for grabbing points.
Extremely enthusiastic about basketball from a young age - Diego would consistently outdribble players much older then he, and it was obvious to his parents at least he had a god given talent. However, without support no talent can be realised, and it was with a bit of local press coverage that happened by sheer fluke that his attention came to the Madrid Acedemy and they came in straight away with an offer. A tough but gutsy decision to leave Valencia at the age of nine saw the young degu board with the school in Madrid, and indeed he is the only current player who has been with the academy since such a young age, others in the first generation simply not being good enough to last the course or seduced by better offers elsewhere.
Imperio has a great range on the court, tight dribbles and a much better propensity for scoring 3 pointers then maybe he should have, but it is his clinical finishing of 2 pointers that mark him out. Poor at dunking however, the rat needs to make sure his aiming is on key otherwise he has little in the way of power play to power through the times when hes slightly off song.
Imperio has every chance of making a big name for himself in the bright lights, but it will depend on him making those best moves better and those weaknesses a strength.
He must be considered for simply his consistently high scoring rate in Europe's hottest basketball country Spain. However, how seriously the FBA general managers take the Madrid capital is waiting to be seen. If they believe the skills of the academy are immediately transferrable, then he must be high. If they don't, then he could be a good pick for someone far lower down. What is not under doubt is that this degu is basketball through and through nd has made sacrifices for the game.
