Anyway, I think I can guess who BC will now draft:

I know that we haven't exactly had the best luck with euros, and obviously BC has a thing for them.
One thing I keep hearing about Vesley is that he does not play like a typical Euro at all. He's crazy athletic, long, and tough. He throws down crazy dunks in games where his head is nearly at the rim.
Which brings up the one underrated element of this draft for us - as much as we don't want another euro, let's face it, that's our only advantage in signing/drafting players. Euro's like it here (not including Hedo). They like BC, they like Gherandini.
There looks to be 4 possible lottery players who are european - Vesley, Kanter, Donatas and Valenciunous. We'll have an advantage in getting one of those guys, maybe get one of them to make a promise to us if we trade down. If we can't get Barnes, Jones or Irving we might as well take a swing for the fences pick. Any of those four could be very good players, or could bust but I'll bet atleast two (or maybe all of them) would love to play in Toronto.
