Official Raptors 2011 NBA Draft Thread, Part 5

lol Barnesnani

Barnes 1-5 but still playing hard. He's had a few jumpers that went in & out but managed to slam an offensive board for his only bucket.

sick ally to henson!

USC's Nikola Vucevic has officially entered his name in the NBA Draft and has already signed with an agent.

Marquette players arent even thinking lol

Finally black falcon

[Brinbe]

ish is over already

[Steely Reserve]

Barnes isn't a top 5 talent. He can't create or dribble.

I think Marshall's stock has to be soaring. Classic case of a lead guard who gets buckets for his teammates.

[5DOM]

Game over. Stat padding time for Zeller, Henson, Barnes and Marshall

[fredericklove]

D-Wade's college team stinks bad

Let me say this about P. Jones and DWill at the 3. If our team's positional need was at power forward, no one would be justifying their ability to play small forward just look at the NBA Draft board here. The general consensus outside of Raptors board is they are both legit four's. Both of their claim to being able to handle the SF position in the NBA is they played it in high school but in their college games, it was non-existent.

DWill's game is powering his way into the paint from the low block, playing the pick and roll, and shooting the occasional three his game similar to the way Amare plays. P. Jones game consist of put backs, running the floor, and moves in the post areas (high and low) similar to the way Bosh plays. Sure they can create around the perimeter occasionally like a SF but they are not effective out there. I'm not going to comment about their defense on small forwards because they only defended bigs in college so it would be unfair to speak about that area.

UNC is legit

Barnes is a mediocre player without him. That's fact. Marshall is the Tarheels best player.

Also Henso showing excellent mobility for his size. I think he has a higher ceiling than your guy's Ed Davis.

i'll try and post some videos of him in highschool/aau so you can see how he played as a 3

The only response I will say is Perry actually has perimeter skill and mobility. He can shoot off picks, curls, and attack the paint with the dribble.

Henson is the anti-Perry Jones.

oh man 2 fouls already
