MKG is struggling on offense, forcing alot of shots, but he's sure pounding the glass and playing hard-nose defense.

Despite Myck missing key free throws I'm sold on him. Not with our pick, but if we can get another lottery choice. He seems like he can run the offense like Jose without taking "pound the rock" literally. However, I think we would need to wait a couple of years for him, similar to how Philly drafted Jrue Holiday 17th and he's just now starting to really pan out and show he was worth a top-10 pick. Myck just looks like a future star to me, and there's no reason to believe that he wouldn't work hard for his hometown team.

Keep sipping the "Perry is soft" label.

Many GMs will be fired for passing on this guy.

No... it'd be due to the kind of player he is. And I can guarantee he'll be a top 5 pick regardless of where Mr.Barnes goes.

+1 he is a leader and true floor general. He also looks like a future star to me.
Even though his shooting is not great right now, he is not a great FT shooter either... so hopefully if he improves as a FT shooter, he will also improve as a shooter overall. Worth the risk with a second 1st rounder.

Unless he replaces Barnes, there's no room for him because I know PJIII, MKG, AD, and AD are going top 4. You could argue Drummond doesn't deserve it but he's going that high regardless.

kentucky cant operate on offense now...umm, looks like Davis is quite important on offense I say.

AD rejects the first shot he sees when he comes back in.

fredericklove · Post #936 » by **fredericklove** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 9:42 pm

Already an impact guy the moment he steps back into the game.

Steely Reserve · Post #937 » by **Steely Reserve** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 9:45 pm

He's blocking 6'8 average offensive players.

This guy cannot be serious. Learn the game of basketball :roll:

That reminds me, why are Perry Jones' block totals so weak?

Post #940 » by **FluLikeSymptoms** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 9:49 pm

Injury update: AD hit his head, bruised his shoulder, lost a contact lens and won nine hearts.

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