I hate this pick. It was really my worst nightmare.

I'm glad I don't have to be a fan this year in the NBA. It may take me that long to get over this.

Well, I have liked their last three 1st rounders when they were drafted. Perhaps I'm getting soft.

May I ask how you acquired your foresight abilities?

Again, very happy with the pick. I think that with Ed and Val we have some bigs that can play solid defense and put the ball in the basket. Next year we get a wing scorer or point.

If he was from New York no one would be questioning this pick. BC showed his balls and made the best pick at the position we were at. Don't let his English or past draft picks taint this selection.

Bufford is happy with it so I am too....

D-White Howard aka Jonas Valanciunas is our man. I'm much happier taking a gamble on potential all-star C then wasting it on a role player PG. We already have 2 of those.

Yep. It's going to be a handful to keep Ed Davis and Jonas Valaciunas off the offensive glass.

if ed and val develop the way people hope, they're going to be a top rebounding duo in the league. who's not happy about that...

re-****-diculous.

Exactly. Another thing with Ed Davis and Valaciunas is that, they're relatively quick and agile for their size which bodes well for the Toronto Raptors who wants to get out and run while having the size to defend very well.

This pick was worth it just to see the fanboys rage.

Is 231 lbs an accurate measurement? If it is, hopefully he spends his offseason bringing that weight to 250.

Woah. That's weird.

Although, he didn't go third or fourth.

He's got a lot of upside. I think what's going help him more, especially offensively, is if we get him a PG who can run P'n'R. Bayless needs to improve on that.

Are you happy with the Raptors selection 5th overall?
