RIP Fab Melo

[Man Called X]

I remember a segment of this board wanting to see us draft him.

Obviously something tragic happened, because there is no story. Just that he died.

Wow. Yeah the half of the board who hated Big Z's lack of athleticism loved Fab. RIP, big guy.

Former Syracuse 7-footer and Boston Celtics first-round pick Fab Melo died in his home country of Brazil.

Melo was found dead at his home in Juiz de Fora, in the state of Minas Gerais, Military Police in Brazil confirmed. Melo went to bed on Friday night and was found dead Saturday morning by his mother, authorities there said.

There was no immediate word on cause of death.

"We don't know the cause yet. It's so hard right now, so hard to believe. It's a sad, sad day."

Sudden cardiac death? (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)

Too bad. I was intrigued at one time. Really tragic.
