I'd rather Kanter at 3, Val at 4 and Knight at 5.

In a weak draft this is the best time for him to go.

Also with Kabongo coming he would get less playing time.

No, they would've played together in the back court; Myck running the point and Corey at sg, just like he did this year with Dogus Balbay.

It's official: Kawhi Leonard is my fave prospect not named Kemba in this draft. At least, I think he is. Check in with me again next week.

Illuminating stuff, yet again, from Holly.

Jim Kelly said today's workout was "by far our best workout and our most competitive, highest level of skill." #Raptors

From Holly:

Kelly on Kawhi: His shooting touch has definitely improved since late in the season.…His proficiency at 3-pt shooting today was as good as anyone here."

Cory Joseph looked good shooting ball at end of #raptors workout today. Tristan looked solid guarding Kawhi

Whirlwind day today, but my main impression of today's Raptors workout: Cory Joseph has really opened up.

Kawhi Leonard: Loves basketball. Doesn't love media grilling. I don't blame him and often think about how much of a grind this process is.

stackmack Holly MacKenzie
Yup. Feel for em. RT @jaysatur: @stackmack thought today's guys were grilled a lot more about their weaknesses than last week. Can't be fun.

could you imagine the jersey sales alone if we picked up a guy like joseph or TT? when have we ever been able to support a Canadian player on a Canadian team??

I would love to rock a Cojo Raptor Red.

I find pretty amazing that after a player decides to go for the draft, he suddenly works on his 3 pointers and jump shot in a couple of weeks before the draft and all of a sudden a good 3 point shooter...Why wait to that point to improve it?

They're still young, so why not?

Well, he does huge hands (and you know what they say about men with big hands...).
