Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 4

I'm still waiting for Anthony Davis to consistently create his own offense. If you huge want him, you might as well move Bargs back to Center and trade Jonas.

You all need a dynamic, playmaking small forward or shooting guard. MKG is what you need. Both ADs are redundant and Barnes cant create for others.

Can you imagine Barnes and Bargs trying to split shots? Yea, I can't either.

Cos he is soft, doesn't contribute much on D, doesn't play aggressive man to man d, and offers so little help D. Too damn soft.

And yet he put up 22/14/3 today and during the game your comments were nowhere to be found.

If Anthony Davis did that, you would have been gloating from Canada to Japan. I know this because you made two posts about the impact of one Anthony Davis block.

You need to be more open minded and respectful with your posting styles.

The tone of your script. Don't disregard the greatness of his shot blocking. Second (and soon to be first) all time in blocks as a freshman shows how little you know.

You are quite small-minded when it comes to PJ3, those are his offensive stat plus on the boards however he's not a contributor on D, not even in this game. As for me I was away from laptop watching the baylor game on TV. But you don't seem to understand defense or the game, so it's okay. I forgive you.

The defender pulled Davis down hard from behind on a breakaway dunk.

Anthony Davis may defend enough and Harrison may score enough to offset the backlash but I doubt it. Perry is a walking mismatch in the NBA. You dont pass on that if you're a good GM. Do your job, people.

Then why did you state Gilchrist as far and away the best player in the draft? Apparently you would pass on PJ3 as well.

He's a 4, despite what Steely Reserve wants to tell you. His handle is good for a 4, not so much for a 3. It's difficult for a player of his height to protect the ball from smaller players because his dribble will be high. There is no evidence of his ability to guard 3s at the college level, let alone be able to transfer that to the pros.

He may play some SF earlier in his career until he gains the necessary strength to defend the PF position, but I think he eventually plays as a face up 4 over the long run.

And where are your comments on the 0 for 5 shooting performance today from the man you described as far and way the best player in the draft and the guy you want to give the ball to with the game on the line? (Gilchrist)

Come on y'all lets forget about PJ3 for a minute and just enjoy the Tony Wroten show thats about to begin.

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #957 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:08 am

This Washington vs. Arizona game should be good.

Terrence Ross, Wroten to watch for Washington

Nick Johnson for Arizona

Im just imagining Lamb or Barnes nailing jumpers left and right.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Mr.Raptorsingh · Post #959 » by **Mr.Raptorsingh** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:09 am

sunny, how does Nick Johnson compare to a Jerryd Bayless coming out of Arizona?

I'd keep an eye on for Josiah Turner.

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