As for me, I'll root for Kemba to win ROY.

And you basing assumptions off the way he "looks" is as laughable as it comes.

Looks.

And that shouldn't say much considering the state of the Bobcats right now. He's going to be the only person to score, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he scored 20/5/5. It doesn't make him any better of a player than anyone predicted. It just means he dominates on offense on a bad bad bad team. And if you're that big of a draftee bandwagoner, why are you posting in the Raptors board? :o :cry:

No, but it would be nice to see a player on the court. Did MIN make the right decision taking Rubio to wait two years for him and he still looks like he might not be NBA ready? Its a pretty high pick to be making those kind of moves.


Well luckily for Minny they got to use another high pick on Flynn in the same draft and then watch him immediately suck for 2 seasons. :lol:

You know what the funny thing is? We don't even have ANYONE to dominate on offense on this sh%t team! And please for the love of god don't say Bustnani. :nonono: :cry:

I'm a Raps fan first and foremost. It's just hard to root for a gm that f&cks up over and over and over again and nobody takes him to task!

We're talking 1 season. 1 season. With a potential lockout - half a season? Whether you want it or not, it's the face of the NBA nowadays. Teams are going to be looking overseas for franchise players.

There were some nice commercials before the pick! And then a botched interview where Jonas had no clue what the guy was asking him. Oh and maybe one line in between from Fran Fraschilla and two highlights of him dunking.

Are we going to be running a fast paced high octane offense next season? No. DeMar DeRozan has proven that he could become a great scorer in this league, and for this team. Bargnani should be on his way out this summer, no bones about it, and Ed Davis looked like a very nice player on offense late last season working his pick and rolls with DeRozan. We have players to put the ball in the hoop. Who, outside of Kemba now, can do that on Charlotte?
