Well the time has come to collect.

And so we once again have what we in Raptors Land refer to as: Thank Nation.

This thread will be a space to keep track of where our two first round picks will fall(The Clippers pick and our own), as well as a place to discuss potential draft selections.

Brothers and sisters, all praise be to Masai...Now let's go!

OP can you update the thread title!

I updated it, but the Clippers losing hasn't had any effect on our draft position yet. They just flipped from 26th to 25th and the Raptors went from 25th to 26th. It'll take a few more losses before anything changes. Fingers crossed.

Watch on YouTube

Found this guy recently. I have been seeing a lot of videos on him and he looks like he has tons of potential. It might be a reach to take him in the 20s but I think it'll pay off. We have a lot of guards but he looks like he could be a decent backup.

Have you been living under a rock? Sorry dont mean to be a prick but this is one of the least-informed posts I've ever read.

This man is a TOP PROSPECT. Some mocks have him going first overall. I predict him to be in the top 3

Anyone watching this Indiana/Louisville game? Indiana has 2 perfect prospects. OG obviously, and Thomas Bryant. Bryant, a SUPER long hustle big with a 3 point shot is a dream in the modern NBA.

Is this a joke. This guy has been mocked in the top 4 for months.

Another Sudanese/Australian player Deng Adel has looked amazing against Indiana. But then I looked up his stats and it was a WTF moment. He seems raw, with some skill.... if that makes any sense.

This. Can we keep the discussion around guys in our range, or at least guys we could have some small chance of trading up for? At best we're looking for guys in the 10-14 range who could slide. Lonzo is an not one of them.

Just need them to keep relying so heavily on their starters that they get a little beat up as the season goes on.

He's talented enough that I'd scoop him if he drops to us. He's got a lot of defensive potential. Even with suffering acl tears twice, he's still quite athletic. Though depending on how quickly he bounces back and plays in college could determine whether he rises or slides in the draft. Right now he's looking like late lottery to late teens.

RaptorsLife · Post #476 » by **RaptorsLife** » Sun Jan 1, 2017 1:30 am

clippers getting smacked again. a top 20 pick in 2017 is better than everything after the 8th pick in 2016

We have the Clippers pick in a year they're falling apart, but the 8th seed in the West is so horrible there's no way they fall out of the playoffs and lose our pick

Westbrook singlehandedly destroying the Clippers......
