Official Raptors 2011 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2

This will drive a lot of you nuts.

Givony of DraftExpress is having multiple orgasms watch Donatas Montiejunas play.

Many NBA GMs believe talent trumps everything when building a team. For them, Donatas Motiejunas will look awfully attractive on draft night

Heh.

On another note, can anyone with Insider sum up Chad Ford's article today about who he expects to declare? I saw a tweet mentioning that Lucas Noguiera is mentioned as likely to declare in it, and I'd love to grab him with the MIA pick.

It's not about who will declare. It's his weekly stock watch, who's up, who's down. Nothing terribly surprising. He does have a second on the international players in which he basically says they are for real, and mentions some names like Bogdanovich and Noguiera who might be interesting later in the first round. Also says half his top rated guys are power forwards.

Ah, thank you kindly.

haha, I'm just glad BC has already been through his "size to skill" phase. It's time for someone else to eat it this time.

Renardo Sidney, 6-10 sophomore forward, Mississippi State
I have no interest in him. He's a fat kid. The history on him is just not good. If he had no baggage and it was just a weight issue, then he'd probably get more attention. If you're going to have a weight issue plus baggage, you better be Shaquille O'Neal off the charts. Now some other team might say he's talented, we can deal with all this stuff, let's take him. But he's not for me.


OUCH.

He's one fat angry kid

Could Perry Jones play SF in NBA?

[BBen]

I should've been more clear, but I was referring to Perry, not Terrence.

Gotcha. Perry is always going to be too big and slow to be a 3. If he's not ready for the 4 spot next year then he can ride the pine for a season or do another at Baylor.

I am nowhere near the point of making lists. Just continue to follow players till June - then I'll start ranking.

Try not to call him D Will. There already is one in the NBA.

[sunny]

He is called D will by everyone - that is his nickname.

Doesn't sound like it lasted long.

DraftExpress: How bad is Donatas Motiejunas playing? Coach Repesa is being forced to use the corpse of Brian Skinner rather than subject us to his apathy.

Pass. I'd take him with a late lotto pick if he proved he could play SF and hope he matures as a person in Europe for a couple of years.

Fat kid Retardo Sidney is bullying TJ's team now, yikes

Got a question, are the streams free now? When do user have to start paying to watch these streams?

Back to NCAA, just got done watching the Heat play the best quarter of basketball that I've ever seen. You guys have to see the Wade to LeBron full court alley-oop.

Granted I have only seen one actuall game for P.Jones. But the stigma is still around on this board that he is a PF & PF in the NBA. I Still don't believe that he can not play the 3 in the NBA. With his size & athletic ability, I see no reason why he can not play the 3. Offensively hes a 3, on defence I think he can stay & make up for his lack of latteral quicks with his size.(To be honest, i'm noteven sure his lateral quicks will be a problem) In HS he played like a 3. He has to remain 2nd on our draft board ri now imo because his size/skill set screams stardom. I just wanna know why everyone has him pegged as a 4 is it summin I am missing?
