Eric Piatkowski

Eric Piatkowski intrigues me as a second-generation pro, the son of former ABA player Walt Piatkowski, who carved out his own NBA career rather than coast on the name. At 201 cm and out of Nebraska, he clearly survived on more than height, and I suspect he was the kind of dependable shooter and locker-room professional who keeps a roster stable for years. There is no flashy social media trail here, no manufactured persona, just a long, grounded basketball life. I have a real fondness for that craftsman type, the player whose value lives in steadiness rather than headlines.
