Horrible Pick. How in the world did Colangelo mess this up with Both Knight and Biyomboo available? They take a tweener player who doesn't have the body of a NBA C anytime soon and who isn't available to come over until 2012. Wow, you've out done yourself Colangelo. So much for improvement next year.

This.

I don't see how people can be pissed about this when we just drafted a real centre who doesn't suck and given his buyout situation might even add to our tanking effort next year. Winning all around.

I love Knight too but he is in no way a sure thing franchise point guard.

As of last week I thought we'd be looking at either BB or Jonas V...like both..just glad BC went with high potential instead of playing it safe. Too bad MJ got BB though.

I'm so excited!!! Valanciunas has been my guy from the start. I haven't been this happy about a Raptors pick since 1997, when we took McGrady. Valanciunas is going to be GOOD. We finally have a player that I really believe in. It's been awhile, and it's going to be fun watching Big V play in Toronto.

I think an Val, ED, Amir rotation could be pretty good. Now what can we get for Bargs, and Calderon?

are you people (Please Use More Appropriate Word)? BC made the only sensible choice, Jonas is gonna be the best player in this draft

BC will regret not drafting Knight for the rest of his life.

agree 10000000000% this dude is all about gettin these euros rich. The team is so effin bland. No flavour, we had a chance at adding personality and swag with Kemba as a pic and we go with this effin loser. FOCK U BC

Yay for Team Euro: Your Toronto Europeans. This pick just packed Derozan's bags out of town after his contract ends.

i hope there's a lockout next year. Jonas will be playing ball getting stronger while the rest will be golfing

Are you happy with the Raptors selection 5th overall?
