Dino Meneghin had a fantastic career as one of the league's most talented Internationals ever to be drafted into the NBN. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- Dino might've been the best big in the league at a few points throughout his career. It's very hard to find a big that can put up 19/13/4 stocks while also being a fantastic post defender. While Dino never made it to the promised land, he had one of the most storied, but not extremely long careers.
- One of the positives of a short career is the fact that he legitimately never fell-off. He made the All-League in seven seasons, including his final year, which shows how dominant he was considering he was a starter as soon as he came over as an international.
- I think the stocks are really what put him over. 3.6 blocks per game over his career and another .8 steals per game. Who else puts up 4.5 stocks per game over an entire career and stays consistently great in other aspects of the game like rebounding and post defense? Stud defender, rebounder, stock-getter, and a very good free throw shooter for his position.
Arguments Against Induction
- Dino just wasn't much of a scorer. While he wasn't super inefficient, "average" is probably a better word. He shot well from the line, but didn't do anything super effectively otherwise offensively.
- No title, player of the week, player of the month doesn't help the case. He has a strong career, likely one of the strongest ever to not win a title, but not having the title hurts a lot considering the majority of the Hall of Famers were dominant AND won.
- How well does Dino stock up against the other bigs? While he's not necessarily up there with the "GOATs", it makes the case a bit harder to go over. He was a great defensive big, but does defense really win the crowd over in a very offense-heavy league?
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***
