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.
