Outside of Irving & Williams you're looking at a big gap then Walker, Knight, Jones & Jones, and the Euro's. Wow we'd better get a top 2 pick or the tank is going to go off the track!

I agree but losing Henson is not that big a deal IMO. He could use another season in college to pack on some muscle and work on the J even though it's not that bad as it is. He'll be good though.

Oh right two game winning shots , one against the best team in the NCAA is not enough :lol: an aful shooter , sorry far more credible and knowledgeable people than you disagree


Do you actually think making 2 shots clutch shots determine your whole career? :lol:



Has an excellent jumpshot with range out to 3 point … Good shooter off the dribble


On the offensive end, Knight brings a versatile skill set to the table, starting with his perimeter jumper. Possessing NBA range and the ability to make shots coming off screens, pulling up, or spotting up, Knight is a great shooter with very good form, boasting both a high and quick release.


Possibly the most impressive segment of Knight's game thus far is his ability to hit tough shots from the mid-range, where he has a variety of floaters, runners, and pull-up jumpers in his arsenal. Very crafty in getting to different areas of the floor with the ball, Knight is dangerous scoring the ball in the 5-15 foot range, where he shows excellent touch, can finish through contact, and shows pretty good consistency with his mechanics.

They can say he has an excellent shot, but the numbers don't like. My eyes don't either.
You dont even know the difference between being a good shooter, and having poor shot selection. Brandon Knight is an excellent shooter, but he took poor shots, there is a big difference. Shot selection comes with experience. :lol: you dont even know the difference between the two , how can you even try to evaluate an NBA prospect's game . What a joke. I suggest you actually do some research and watch some games before putting forth such a weak observation :lol: Sorry , but the people who actually scout these players just S***t on your observation


What's the point in being a good shooter when you take all bad shots? You still miss. He's a combo guard that can't shoot. Get over it. Again, I don't care what a scout says, when I can see it for myself. Maybe you should learn to think for yourself and actually watch games, instead of going by others' observations. :crazy:

Again your statements only prove you have no idea what you are talking about. Every credible scouting source knows Brandon Knight is a good shooter. :lol: I suggest you actually watch some NCAA games before making baseless claims about prospects :lol:. NBADRAFT + Draftexpress scouts >>>>>> whatever you might claim to see . It is apparent you have 0 idea of what you are talking about. Brandon Knight has been known as an excellent shooter since highschool

his shooting skill and court vision allow him to consistently finish plays

Perimeter Shooting- Knight came into college with a great reputation as a perimeter shooter and he has done nothing to dispel that his freshman year. He has great range to go along with solid form – good lift, rotation, gets square to the basket and good release point and speed


http://www.nbadraftblog.com/2011-articl ... night.html

With that said, he knows his main strength is shot making and he is one of the best in SEC Conference in that department. A huge shot maker and shot taker that has the ability to score in bunches and has the Kentucky freshman record for most 20 plus points game in a season. His ability to shoot it from deep is what separates him from John Wall, but doesn't have Wall's elite athleticism. He is very good at changing pace with the dribble and shows a solid first step while attacking.

You cant find a single source to back up your claims, and relying only on what you ``see``. Sorry but in the real world you better have evidence to back up your claims. I suggest you watch more basketball games and learn the game of basketball :lol: You might need to reevaluate what you think you know, because the entire basketball community sees things you cant :lol: I have an army of scouting reports that discredit your argument, and you have nothing to backup your absurd claims. Sorry but your analysis fails. I dare you to find one source that says that Brandon Knight is a poor shooter. Good luck.

You don't get it do you genius? :roll: What I see is not evidence? :lol: Educate yourself please. I don't care what other people say. I can judge for myself if a player's a good shooter or not. His stats show he isn't one either. Anyways, the important thing is he's not a top 5 pick so we don't have to worry about him. You can't convince me he's good, and I can't convince you he's overrated. I'm done arguing with you.

Nice, good to see Nogueira measure out okay, really interested in how he'll do. Also disappointed that Kanter's foregoing this event this year.

kemBA

Wiltjer could really play in the NBA if he's 6'8.25 w/o shoes and can hit threes.

You are the one who doesnt get it . Ill take the word of credible sources who scout for a living and know what they are talking about, over some random internet nobody making absurd claims about things he cant even prove or verify with any credible sources. Just because a random crazy person claims he saw Jesus doesnt make it true. Sorry your analysis fails, you have nothing to backup your claim that Brandon Knight is a poor shooter. Good luck next time.

If BC got extended and if he went and traded our pick sayyyyyy, for a player like Galinnari. What would you guys think of that?
I personally think we can get a very good player at top 5 pick better than Danillo. Just thinking out loud here.

The idea of Lamb, a willowy 6-5 swingman from Norcross, Ga., leaving for the pros after one year at UConn is one that is just recently being discussed.

Lamb wasn't even averaging in double figures going into the Big East tournament, scoring 9.6 a game as UConn stood 21-9.

Since then, though, UConn is 10-0 and Lamb has become a fast-rising star. In the 10 games covering Big East tournament and NCAA tournament play, Lamb is averaging 15.6 points and shooting 55.2%.

In NCAA tournament play, it's 17.0 points and 59.3%
.

"I'm not paying any attention to that right now," Lamb said Sunday of speculation he would enter this year's NBA draft. "I'm in college at the NCAA tournament about to play for a national title … I'll think about that later."

If he declares, the Raptors should seriously try to get this kid with another pick.

I wouldn't mind a Lamb + Kemba draft, if we could somehow get another pick.

I think Lamb goes top 10-12 if he declares so it'll be difficult
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Return to Toronto Raptors
