Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 12

[Man of Steel]

I love how he wasn't even as close as possible to the bottom of the pole, hence all the unmoved (tabs/measure marks?) on the lower side of the pole. He really is a freak athlete.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Pj3?

Yup

Freak of nature athleticism and rare skillset wasted on this guy.

And it's not coincidental that this new PJIII all of a sudden comes out when it's time to get drafted. The guy thinks he can bamboozle someone into picking him, and he probably will.

[Undefeated]

Hopefully, it's not the Raptors that will be fooled by PJ3's freak athleticism and immense potential. I've had enough of guys who show up once every blue moon.

Kendall Marshall ‏@KButter5
Bryce Harper is that dude.

That we'll hopefully be picking him if Gilchrist, Beal, Barnes, Drummond, Robinson and Lillard are all off the board.

curious what BC thinks of marshall

[Marlo Stanfield]

What makes Marshall so much better than Machado?

[turner10]

Marshall has a high basketball IQ which i love..is not very athletic but has a great feel for the game and I think he could develop into a decent offensive player..Marshall would be a good ball distributor for Val and what not..

[Laowai]

I still see Toronto trading down especially if we could get Houstons 14th & 16th.

At which point Marshall maybe makes some sense (for those who are wiling to look past his massive defensive downside).

So the Joneses are apparently the favourites for GSW. Which makes a Beal drop slightly more possible.

But you didn’t have to witness the actual workout to know what was at stake: Terrence and Perry Jones are two of the Warriors’ most likely options with the No. 7 overall pick and it’s no secret team execs wanted an up-close view of them playing against each other.

I'm still pretty sure Beal goes top 5. As of this moment anyway, we'll see what workouts bring.

Not a fan of marshall at all. There's just too many question marks with his game. I rather give Bayless another chance.

I can't see him going to Sacremento and assuming Cleveland is being candid about taking HB with 4, then your looking at the Bobcats and Wizards. Its very possible they do take him, but if I were to bet on it right now I'd say MKG and T-Rob go 2 and 3 (not necessarily in that order).

Hmm, I guess if I say 5 I might as well have said 6, since the Kings probably won't select him, but Portland won;t pass on him. Anyway, he's not dropping to the Raps, that much I'm fairly certain of.

That imo is the one thing keeping us from getting Beal, I can't see Portland letting him slip by. My only hope is Damian Lillard impressing the hell out of their FO. Worst case though we grab Lillard which is looking nicer each passing day.
