Really, really did not think the Cavs would pass up on him.

This is a good pick for Toronto!

Wonder how far Knight will drop. Trade for a second pick?

Watch him be a bust and everyone will know BC sucks at drafting.

I like the pick, he was second on my board just after Kemba, this guy has great length and a solid frame, he has a year to develop in Europe to get bigger and stronger.

Great we're suppose to wait another 5 years for a player to pan out only for them to become mediocre. I don't really mind him but I have a feeling BC is envisioning a Bargnani/Valaciunas frontcourt changing the face of the NBA.

Can this guy defend?

I've learned to not rush to judgments on drafted players. The very large majority of us do not know more than the scouting team, so I don't know how everyone rushes to label it a bad pick or bust.

For all the people saying they're done with the team: please don't come back when Val is a key cog years down the road.

Honestly, even if we picked Kawhi Leonard I would have continued to watch.

honestly, we have enough bigs, this is a terrible pic. Bargs and this guy are our bigs, this if effin rediculous. I am officially done with the raptors. DONE. BC is a effin dumb a$$.

What the ****. Valaciunas will stay in this league. Guys who can play defense will have a niche.

I've wanted him for a while now - even over Biyombo - but didn't think he'd be available at 5. Best fit for us, hands down.

Dagger was right all along

Haven't you heard a rumor that Dagger is indeed BC in disguise?

Are you happy with the Raptors selection 5th overall?
