Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 8

[nahom1319]

As much as indifference I have with u guys at times, especially with you nahom, but we all share the same belief that Beal is an outstanding asset to have on a raptors lineup. I've shown my love for Beal already (e.g. beal wallpaper)

Oh believe you me I'm aware of how much we disagree on Barnes. I'm just glad we agree on Beal.

:droop:

Dude is lighting quick even when he uses picks he blowby like a jet. I like him.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Same with me and Beal

If my mancrush on Beal grew any bigger my heart would explode, I gotta spread it around

REAL DEAL BEAL BABAY! Like I said though, I'm not hating on Harrison I just don't think he's the best guy we can get, but I wouldn't be mad if we did draft him, just cautious.

He should be available at the Indy pick if he declares. This guy is like Isiah Thomas, JJ Barea good with jump out of the gym hops to boot. He's gonna be a HUGE steal.

Take Drummond and ship out Bargnani for Tony Parker
Trade Jose for a 2nd rounder and draft Jae Crowder
Waste some Money on OJ Mayo cause face it DeRozan cant create to save his life.
Draft Fab Melo and Kris Joseph
Val is a PF not a C
sign Scoop Jardine if hes goes undrafted
re- sign bayless for 3 years and 12 million or 4 years and 16 million.

PG: Tony Parker/Jerryd Bayless/Scoop Jardine
SG: OJ Mayo/DeMar DeRozan/Gary Forbes
SF: James Johnson/Linas Kleiza/Kris Joseph
PF: Jonas Valanciunas/Ed Davis/Jae Crowder
Cc: Andre Drummond/Amir Johnson/Fab Melo

Wait, so how come BC and his scouting staff and the international scouts/nba scouts all say Val is a C, are they all wrong and you're right?

Still think people have written off Lamb way too early. When considering what he's demonstrated to be capable of, as well as the teammates that he's had to work with (Napier this year, Walker last year both averaging more than 10 FGA/G). Feel like some people have labelled him as complacent without considering that. IMO he and Bradley Beal have shown the most complete skillset of all wing prospects in this draft.

[Leolovinliberal]

My mancrush on Peyton Siva gets stronger every time I see him play.

Fun fact: He'll be rhe first Polynesian in the NBA

As you said, it is way too early, things will be more clear when we have the measurement and work out.
I think some Sullinger and Robinson might be at the same level of Lamb, Beal and Barnes, so a lot of things may change.

Barnes' high ranking before this was built on a house of cards, and in the tournament he's tipped it over. IMO expect something like 7th to 9th overall.

Even if he struggles, his size and 2 way ability are hard to ignore for scouts, he's 4th to 7th at worst. 7th to 10th is more like Leonard's range at best while 10-13 at worst.

Forget all these losers.....we need a PG for the future and the way I see it we're going to be picking anywhere between 5-8 so why not go out and get a guy who I think is the sleeper in this draft: Damian Lillard from Weber St. The kid averaged 24.0 and 4apg. He made his teammates better even though some of you will say his assist numbers are low. He has great size for a PG and almost looks like Russel Westbrook out there on the court with a better jump shot and the same ability to drive and get to the line. I say we take a risk on this kid and move forward with a PG with star potential we can build around for the future.

Louisville down 1 to Florida and Siva fouls out. Let's see what happens...

We know too much about Barnes to let one game crumble his draft ranking.

6'8 with pure shooting and length (with his skill set) as a SF is just too rare; he should be the first wing picked

fixed

[Marlo Stanfield]

C'MON BRAD!!! Dieng blocked him twice (so similar to Iblocka), and then he travels...

[DA_SCOUT]

Beal has been f'ing up the within the last 3 minutes of the game.

Blocked twice, called for traveling twice. ouch

[Live Free]

smh @ that sequence by beal. Gets swatted, then busted ankle, then travels off the rebound. wow

This guy is not even a better prospect coming out of college then Bayless and you want to draft him because he is putting 24ppg and 4 assist in playing in weak conference ... atleast bayless as sophmore was putting up 20ppg on elite college team and conference.
