Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 10

[niQ]

seriously if barnes is still on the board you take him. Its mind numbingly stupid for us to take another 4 whose eyebrows dont connect.

Hahaha what an incredible post.

Lillard is nice, will be a nice scorer.. but his passing ability is not so great.

damian lilard looks like a derrick rose ultra lite lol. Looks like a decent attack guard.

The one thing i hope the raps get out of this draft is a player with a known commodity. Theres too much "potential" and time to develop bull crap. If you are good, you are good and will only get better.

If Raptors drafts Barnes this team offense will be nightmare. Who will create for themselves? We will see Calderon pounding the ball again and again. Do this team really needs another guy who can't dribble?

While Barnes isn't a dynamic shot-creator off the dribble one-on-one, he is capable of creating his own offense through the use of picks in triple-threat. It's been documented that a lot of Barnes' made baskets this year have been unassisted despite what people say about a 2 game sample without Kendall Marshall in the NCAA tournament.

Exactly and people choose to ignore his p&r ability and over analyses the two games SMH.

I never got how ppl can say that DX mocks are better than nbadraft.net. I follow nbadraft.net for yrs now and their mocks are really better than DX. DX doesn't even taken in team needs, its just player rankings based on them. Draft.net takes in team needs from the jump so even their early mocks will be much closer and better to the real draft.

Draft Express takes team needs.. just not before the draft lottery.
