Petteri Koponen is a Playboy. Literally.

For the next few weeks, the Blowtorch will be bringing you a series of rookie previews (complete with caricatures!) until we get through the first round. It all culminates with a ballin t-shirt commemorating the best draft in the history of awesomeness.


Petteri Koponen

Strengths: ballin ball passer, shoots 3 bombs, contagious grin, played for a team called the Playboys
Weaknesses:
youngski, turnover prone, won't play in the US for like 2 years

NBA Comparison (best-case):
Drazen Petrovic
NBA Comparison (worst-case): Steve Blake
NBA Comparison (most likely): Kirk Hinrich

The first comment made me cry a little.

Playing for a team named "Playboys" is great, but playing for a team named "Honka Playboys" is even better.

Wow, I'm with Ty Keenan on this one... wow. Have people already forgotten about Drazen Petrovic?

Nice kicks.

He won 2 championships in Honka Playboys and now plays for Italy and one more year left to prove for portland that he got what it takes.I think Italy will coach him enough good to make it in nba
