Basically from what I read is Bismack Biyombo without the athleticism

That's not an NBA player.

This thread is absolutely hilarious. People who think they know better than Masai getting called out by people who also just got lucky. RealGM circle of life.

If you said Spicy was a good pick at the time, great. If you calmly didnt think so, it was your opinion at the time, totally fair.

Nobody, Masai included, saw this much Spice coming. No need to **** on your fellow posters over what is essentially a flukey prediction for 99% of us who only watch highlights or breakdowns by other people.

Granted, if Masai could foresee this, then he would have taken Siakam at 9th, not 27th.

Don’t think the problem is people disagreeing with the picks. it’s being so immediately adamant that
1) the pick was terrible
2) multiple other players that late in the draft are easily better choices
3) that it proves Masai is bad at drafting

[VanWest82]

He took a three off the dribble yesterday. Let that sink in.

Unless he knew nobody else was looking at him in the first round.

Please forgive me Masai I know not what I said

[Throwback24]

I don't get it, I truly don't. If you're going to go with a big why him?

It’s not your job. They scout for years. You sit at home and type behind a keyboard.

lol dont quote me you clown. What is this supposed to prove?

Tons of us wanted other people. I hope this helps you sleep at night weirdo

[Scott Hall]

Lex Luger is THAT guy huh?

[Raps in 4]

Just realized OP didn't even spell his name properly smh. Straight disrespect.

[young11a]

Davis
Skal

BOTH ON THE BOARD!!

Passing twice on high-upside plays like Labissiere and Davis is disgusting

When a potential top-10 talent slides, you make the damn pick and worry about the rest later

Even the GODDAMN KINGS had the sense to pick up SKAL with the very next pick (28)...even tho he didn't work out for them either!

LOL.

Jokes lol that Skal dude was even a scrub in college I have no idea how he was #1 in his class

[WuTang_OG]

We got our power forward, congrats everyone

Thanks but what u laughing @

[Salted Meat]

Just putting this here because I think it's hilarious that some people get paid to be so wrong. I mean we'll also be wrong, but at least we'll do it for free.

27. Toronto Raptors: Pascal Siakam (PF, New Mexico State)

Just what Toronto was thinking with this pick with Deyonta Davis still on the board is a mystery. Pascal Siakam has talent, yes, but is not a strong athlete and even ESPN analysts were surprised that he went this high. GM Masai Ujiri must see something in him that others don't, but there's no doubt that the Raptors could have done so much better with this pick. Grade: D-

[-TheDocOfDenial]

I'm gonna be fair here, the draft is a crap shoot. Lets bump the Bruno thread and see how many people were right about it.

[JShuttlesworth]

Probably the best draft selection in Raptors history in terms of the pick spot compared the the outcome of the player.

Read on Twitter

3.5 years later, just as we all predicted.
