Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 3

[T_Biggums]

Quincey Miller is still on my radar but Gilchrist has surpassed him right now. The kid just has potential at both ends of the floor and looks like a gamer.

[Young_Buc]

I think QMiller could be one of those guys that slips to late lottery and ends up being a steal.

if we dont get anthony davis or drummond my next guy is MKG, he is going to be something special.

[fredericklove]

Let's just pray we get top 2 picks so we can pick ADs instead of taking wings (it makes our job easier) but if we get picks outside of top 2 picks, BC and the scouts are going to have to dig so deep into which wings are best and suitable for us..., after seeing the "behind the draft" videos, its damn hard and not an easy job for us considering if we have a bunch of wings on the list this year in Barnes, Lamb, MKG, Qmiller and PJ3 (?)

do you guys thing Davis can play SF? he is quick enough IMO and athletic enough.. maybe we can have a giant front court of Val/Ed/AD

this question's been asked too many times, and for the last time, NO. He's best suited for the 4 spot.

I'm curious to see what Lamb actually measures at during the pre-draft events. I wouldn't be surprised if he came out closer to 6'7, and with that wingspan and his defensive abilities (seriously underrated defender) I think he could be a good sf pairing for Demar. At the moment I prefer him to Barnes because I just see him as a more complete player, and one who isn't afraid to be 'the man'.

I'm hoping for a sf in this draft, because thats what the strength of this class seems to be. But I really feel like a pg is the main priority for this team. The creativity/leadership should come from that position imo, not necessarily the wing. With Demar and one of HB/JL at the wings, and a frontcourt rotation of three of bargs/val/amir/ed, a top notch pg would turn us into a potentially excellent team for years.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was 6'7"-6'9" in shoes once the measurements are revealed. I just can't believe he's 6'5", but maybe he just looks taller because he's lanky.

I don't see it. He looks like a pf to the fullest.

If that's the case and we were drafting in the 3-4 range I'd take him and run.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Ok so I know this one is probably photoshopped but Lamb (#3) is listed at 6-5 and Alex Oriakhi (#34) is listed at 6-9



In this one it seems like he's more than 4 inches taller than Kemba who measured out at 6-1, but now he looks about an inch or 2 shorter than Oriakhi...



I still think he'll measure taller than 6-5

[DreamTeam09]

Yea if Lamb is 6'7 in shoes, it makes things a lot easier fa real.....

[fredericklove]

LOL at people saying he could be 6'7 to 6'9, can't people just accept the fact that he's 6'5.

Not sure what makes you so confident about his listed height. Not as if it would be the first instance of an outdated measurement sticking with a player. That, and he simply looks taller than 6'5. Sure, may be a bit of wishful thinking, but I don't think its unfounded in this case.

I rather believe in the listed height from espn than in photoshopped photo or photos that show different angles and etc.

C'mon man, don't act like you weren't trying to boost Enes Kanter and Kemba Walker's heights before the draft last year. This is no different, and there's actually reason to believe Lamb's taller than listed.

UK at 8:30, Baylor at 9 and Uconn at 9

which prospect y'all gonna watch tonight?

[Undefeated]

My top choice is still Quincy Miller because the last few games he's starting to show he's moving alot better laterally and quicker which has been the biggest concern for him. Also, Q. Miller is finally starting to demand the ball and do his thing off the dribble instead of floating around the key for the most part of the season. His rebounding and passing has been really nice that the Raptors could use.

[Dr Positivity]

I like Demar but we should not be drafting around him. First game really outlined how he's still not a threat off the dribble

If Lamb is clear BPA, take Lamb
