We learned that Ross is a bonafide baller.

If I'm BC, I'd try to move Barbosa for a late first and snag Ross.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but he looks like he has better tools than DeMar. But just to be clear, I'm not saying that he's better than him

Gaddy lost Washington that game. Wroten should had been on during that last time-out.

Hypothetical question. Let's say Andre Drummond returns to UCon to increase his stock and for his own reasons. Example he was disappointed with his freshman season. Who gets drafted second? Considering Anthony Davis goes first.

Good question. As of right now I think it would be Barnes

Barnes or Lamb.

right now I think it would be PJ3 based almost entirely on his potential and physical tools, but depending on how the rest of the season goes it might end up being one of Lamb/Henson, with an outside shot of Gilchrist/Miller/Barnes as well.

Ken Berger reports that the B-list issues have pretty much been straightened out, and as expected, there will likely be no changes to the draft rule in time for the coming class:

KBergCBS Ken Berger
All indications remain that draft eligibility age will stay the same until there is time for further discussion.

The 2013 draft will likely also be important for us, but since there's a chance it could be weakened by any rule changes, this would seem to make 2012 even more critical.

FWIW, he added this soon after:

KBergCBS Ken Berger
In fact, source confirms that age limit stays as-is in final version of CBA. Tabled until there is time for further debate.

Beal looks kind of in between Wes Matthews and Eric Gordon. I'm interested.

Did anybody see the Jonas(23/11) vs. Patric Young(3/3) game this past summer? I didn't.

http://raptorsrepublic.com/forums/showthread.php?6527-Patric-Young-on-Jonas-Valanciunas-quot-I-know-for-a-fact-he-is-not-a-lottery-pick-quot

RR: What did you think of Jonas Valanciunas?

Patric: I know for a fact he is not a lottery pick. He has potential though and he is still a good player though and a good guy. I think its a good investment but yall cant give him every foul call lol

RR: Is that what you think happened in your game?

Patric: I know thats what happened 3 Lithuanian refs in Lithuanina and their superstar is playing come on lol.

Is there anything to this or did Young just get whupped?

^ Valanciunas completely outplayed him, but Young later more or less apologized for those comments and praised Val.

Thanks, good. Good to here that JoVa dealt with an athlete like Young, though I'm not Patric's biggest fan.

Also, will be good to see Turner play tonight.

Yessir! I'm a huge fan of Beal. The guy can literally knock down any shot from anywhere in a half-court offense. Too much range it's filthy. Not to mention at only 6-3 he's a monster on the glass for his size.

Imma miss this game tonight. **** exams.

I didn't watch the Patric vs Jonas game but I was here on RealGM reading the comments and boxscores. He pretty much dominated that tournament and led the tournment in scoring (23.0 ppg), rebounding (13.9 rpg), blocks (3.2 bpg), double-doubles (7) and was 2nd in field goal percentage (59.8%) only behind Canada’s Dyshawn Pierre.

And I think Bradley Beal is 6'4 now. But regardless of height, he's averaging a ridiculous 7 rebounds per game right now. He's like Eric Gordon in the respect that they have "sneaky" hops (and I guess you could also mention both are long range specialists).

Who do you want the Raptors to draft in the 2012 NBA Draft?
