OP butchered both his first and last name but I'm not surprised.

Horrible man. Davis wanted it so bad and he should have been the pick.

Should've seen it coming.

Someone in the GB said this:

I love this pick for Toronto. I had Siakam as the most underrated player in the draft.

Steal of the draft IMO. Top-15 talent. Maybe top-10 in this draft. Draymond Green like defense and promising offensive game for someone who's basically had 2 years of serious coaching.

Davis thought but hoped Beasley would have fallen.

Hope about Michael Beasley for PF? Maybe he is finally mature?

I love this pick for you guys. Top-10 talent in this draft, IMO. Great motor, great athlete, untapped potential offensively. He was uber dominant even if played against low level comp. But he'd raise his game against the best teams in the schedule, fwiw.

Can defend 3 or 4 positions in the NBA, I think. He's like Mbah-a-Moute before the injuries but with a softer touch, better hands, and more explosive.

I think he has Ibaka potential.

Honestly we drafted 2 guys who can play next year for us imo

Brinbe · Post #53 » by **Brinbe** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 2:45 am

It's time to have a real discussion on Masai's drafting ability. Same with Bruno, this is a guy you could get with a 2nd rounder. Why reach for someone like this?

Called it like two days ago....i said Siakam was intriguing..said he might be a good pick at #27

He's pretty athletic and is Bismack-ish in his play...

lol @ chad ford saying we strongly considered skal at 9. so much so, we passed at 27.

Rozan · Post #57 » by **Rozan** » Fri Jun 24, 2016 2:46 am

Maybe there's a reason why Skal and Davis haven't been picked yet

"best kept secret in this years draft"

Nice! What a great pick! Siakam is one of my sleepers and was near the top of my personal BPA list at 27. One thing that's interesting is that both Poeltl and Siakam are bigs who posted a PER of over 30 last season. We took two guys who can play next year, and who should have nice, productive careers. I'm quite happy right now!

Biyombo replacement. Biz is gone, confirmed.
