Since the Raptors don't leak I guess the NBA leaked to ESPN? CMB was a surprise to many in the media so why did ESPN know more than anyone else?

they know a minute or two before it's announced on stage.

they are told right after the pick is called in from the war room.

Raptors could less of a shi+ what Dick Paul thinks - and frankly no team should for the Draft.

You're a rookie-to-be. You'll go where you'll go and you'll deal with it.

New Raps lineup of doom:

Barnes
Quickley
Barrett
Ingram
Collin-Boyles

Coming out of college how much better was Kawhi's offensive game compared to CMB?

Bilas is one of their only real draft guys so he had CMB higher than most casual media folks.

CMB was a better scorer but Kawhi’s shot is light years ahead of CMB’s.

I believe this end-of-game lineup will be effective:

Barnes
CMB
BI
Agbaji
IQ/Shead

Barnes, BI, and CMB will create offensive mismatches, drawing double teams and leading to free throws.

yep, Malika and others get a heads up as soon as its called in. so they can get the right talking points, cameras shots ready to go.

lol nah, they've been crap way before rogers gained full control of mlse. it's mostly bill manning being incredible shite at his job, hiring scrubs like chris armas and getting big signings like insigne completely wrong.

[quote="causal_fan"]Coming out of college how much better was Kawhi's offensive game compared to CMB?[/quote]

Kawhi had better shooting mechanics from the outside. HOwever, Kawhi wasn't a great FT shooter in college.

With this being said him and Kawhi apart from height are different positional players. KL was a 2/3 and small ball 4. CMB is more a 4/5. Even with a shot he isn't a 3.

Previous 9th picks by the Raptors

Mcgrady
DeRozan
Purtle
CMB

I wont lie the size and the lack of shooting got me worried but he was the BPA so this makes it very interesting. I'll be watching the summer leagues closely.

So sad Masai won't be there but I haven't been this excited about a Raptors season for a long time. Probably heading into 07-08, coming off a season winning the division and making it to the playoffs after a long 5-6 years
