Who would want to trade for Terrance Ross now with little assets to gain because of the spot Ross was drafted? Ross is going to have to stay with us, unless BC trades Davis too just to right his stupid decision.

KNelsonDX: Not a big fan of this pick. Ross has size athleticism & can hit shots but that's about it. Not nearly dynamic enough to bail out the Raps

DraftExpress: Ross pick was a surprise to say the least. That's just how this night has gone so far.

johnhollinger: I had Ross 27th on my board. Not a fan of the pick and thought they could have traded down if that was their guy.

I'm not buying we picked Ross to keep him until this draft is over:

DraftExpress: What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.

If Ross was BC's guy, he definitely could've TRADED DOWN.

Shame ... shame on BC. Ross could be a good player... but he could been had at a lower pick.

Well let's not blame Terrence Ross. I admit I don't like the pick, but let's support the kid.

Yeah.

Happy for Andre and the Rivers family as well. Nice to see them showing how much it means to them. So genuine. Not trademarked.

Has anybody committed hara-kiri yet?

Let's wait a bit till the trades are over before we condemn anybody.

This team is so frustrating. The only reason I will pay any attention to this season will be for Jonas.


If it wasn't for Alan Anderson going off the last game, we wouldn't have needed that coin flip. >_<

I just can't understand this Ross was supposed to go 14-24 so you decide to reach at 8 I literally want to cry.

Terrence Ross is either for a trade, or BC knows something that nobody else knows.



You always draft BPA available regardless, and Drummond is quick enough, skilled enough to play the power forward and if he is better then Val you trade Val in the future ..


Draft BPA
