2017 NBA Manifesto
Patricio Garino
SG/SF, 6’6, 210lbs, 24 years old, 1 year of experience
The high-motored, hustling Garino played his way into the NBA with 49 games of running around in that unconventional way of his for the D-League’s Austin Spurs. Garino was a role player in the D-League just as he will be one in any league; while there are a few spot-ups from outside and the occasional driving lay-up, Garino is not a ball handler nor a creator. Rather, he is a utility guy who will expend great energy on the defensive end. Teams should surely hope to find this playing style and effort level in a player bigger, faster and stronger than Garino. Despite this, he earned his way onto the cusp.
Player Plan: Unguaranteed minimum salary contract for 2017/18. No better of a candidate for it than many others, however, and is at best a camp invite with a lot to prove.
