You should hire Gersson Rosas.

Most intriguing name out there, to me.

So what picks do we officially have in the draft?

(1-4) one of those.
31. Our 2nd
36. Lakers 2nd (did I hear this right? Which deal did we get this in?)

Is there another pick I am missing here? Is it Toronto's own pick? What number would that be?

If we have 31 and 36 - that's pretty huge. There are some really solid players that will be drafted in those positions.

48/49/50, Raptors 2nd.

Ford has Elfrid Payton as his draft sleeper.

His jumper is just so sketchy I have a hard time thinking he'll be a great player.

I agree, but I love his defense. I'd be happy enough with him with any 2nd rounder based on his on ball defense alone, which I have no doubt is NBA ready. If he can do more offensively than play in transition, he could be a starting quality player. That's questionable.

You never know, some players come to the NBA and suddenly learn how to shoot. Doubtful, but not out of the realm of possibilities.

Reminds me of Rondo without the vision, not sure how good of a player that is.

We should take Bhuller #1.

Payton has been my target at #31 for a while. He has great size, great defense, is pretty explosive off the bounce, and is a solid creator once he gets into the lane. Needs work on his jumper and some decision making on the perimeter. Tankingforwiggins.com actually has an ideal draft for me right now, Wiggins/Payton/GRIII. I think Payton goes before our 2nd rounder, and GRIII could as well.

So we have 1-4, 31, 36 for sure. How is the tie between CHI/TOR/PHO for the second round draft slots broken? That pick will be 48/49/50.

I wouldn't mind that draft at all, especially the second rounders. Would still prefer Embiid over Wiggins though.

I still like Russ Smith as well. I don't think he's going to be a great player... but I could see him being very good defensively at the point and being able to run an NBA offense. I like his potential as a role player.

LUKE23 · Post #1657 » by **LUKE23** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 3:53 pm

Yeah, I'm more than fine with Embiid at #1, in fact, I'm going back and forth on him and Wiggins. Those are definitely my top 2 though.
