[Black hat blue eyes]

I just thew my tablet across the room... What the heck where they thinking!!! They had a chance at sabonis, Ellenson or Davis.... Why waste the pick... They should have traded it.

 

[Radiohead]

Sabonis to Orlando.

 

[RyanOhReally]

I like Poetl. He'll replace Bismack without really being able to replace Bismack. They'll probably look in Free Agency to get a PF.

Question: Is Caboclo now 2 years away as projected?

 

[DD03]

Why are we using the 9th overall pick to replace a back up centre?

It's not a necessity like an actual upgrade somewhere else is.

Not only that but you can fill that void by signing some one cheap in the off-season.

 

[Damisoph]

all the armchair GMs upset at the pick lol. I put more faith into our scouting system than most do evidently.

I trust in Masai. I don't trust Casey with his development though.

 

[DD03]

He's a C. He's a 7 footer with good post moves and a solid defender, but we don't need more post moves with J Val.

Oh I forgot how well the Raptors have drafted in the past.

 

[Damisoph]

I still think Masai will move the pick.

 

[Belieber]

Guess I'm the only one who likes the pick.

I like it as well.

JV was a good pick that people *****ed and moaned about at the time.

Crap draft. Hope Masai is his usual genius.

 

[Damisoph]

Ibaka to the Magic.

TSN draft tracker is garbage

 

[trellaine201]

Why do we always pick Euros? Is it because Americans won't play for Toronto?

I was wondering as well. We always seem to draft euros? What's up with that. No Americans?

Just last year Raptors drafted Delon Wright and Norm Powell, 2 Americans.

Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.

Thompson, Butler and Leonard were selected after him. Just sayin

I think we are going regret not selecting sabonis.

Oh right lol sorry I just react quick

 

[Radiohead]

Does this mean Aaron Gordon is available? Yes please.

Val, caboclo, and now Poetl are the only Euros we have drafted since 2010 as far as I know.
