"With the fourth pick of the 2011 PBA Rookie Draft, the Powerade Tigers select.... Marcio Lassiter!"
While top pick JV Casio had been grabbing the headlines, there hasn't been much talk about how the Tigers got an ABSOLUTE steal with the fourth pick. Marcio is actually my favorite player from Smart Gilas and weeks before the draft, I was actually hoping that Powerade would pick him as the top pick even though JV Casio was clearly the favorite. Well, all that is for naught now since we got them both, which is actually the best scenario the Tigers could have ever had in that draft.
We got 'Cio and Casio, and everyone better get outta the way.
For now, here's a youtube video of Marcio's college highlights during his time with Cal State Fullerton.
Enjoy the Cio show. Roar out.
