Is Draymond Green a better(healthier, better offensively) Dejuan Blair?
Dejuan Blair

Draymond Green

If this guy slips to 2nd round as Blair did he's going to be a steal.

Draymond Green is a guy who could be a different athlete with a big drop in weight and a tone-up, and it could change his outlook fairly dramatically. He could be a killer 6th man, maybe a starter.

Which comparison fits Brad Beal the best? A) Ray Allen B) Eric Gordon C) Jordan Crawford

Nice wingspan

Looking at the big men in this draft, how would you rank them? Davis is #1, but after that there seems to be so many question marks. Is Drummond the next big taken? Who is the better prospect between Sullinger and Robinson? Where would you put guys like PJIII, Henson, Leonard, T. Jones, Moultrie, Patric Young?

I mentioned it earlier as being a prerequisite for barnes to be the 1st wing off the board. It could be possible, and that would be scary to think of how good he would be next year. At the same time we would be forced to pick a Barnes/Lamb type wing which would make me cry. So yeah I'd be severely disappointed.

Funny thing is I liked these guys at the beginning of the year.

I think the only way our draft board falls apart is if we pick 8th or higher.
Right now there are 8 prospects we as fans are rooting for. So for everyone who stays in school (I doubt that any will), all we need is to hope for 8-X pick.

IE MKG and Drummond stay in school, then we need the 6th pick or lower.

Once it gets to the combine, I can't see how Lamb doesn't leapfrog back into the top 6. I'd take him in the top 3, those arms are ridiculous:

Even if you do not like Robinson as a prospect, you at least have to check out this video; it is impossible to not root for him. It is good to see that some of you guys are coming over to the T-Rob bandwagon, it has been a lonely place ha

Had no idea that he lost his mom... Today I'm cheering for him

#2 Robinson has the size. Even he doesn't have the skills yet, but he should be a better prospect.
#3 Drummond has the potential.
#4 Sullinger has the basketball IQ. If he measures great (6'10 with longer wingspan), he could be an impact player to be at the right place at the right time.
#5 Cody Zeller
#6 Henson
#7 Perry Jones

Though Green has some skill, I have a difficult time trying to figure out what position he'll be able to defend in the pros. He's short for the power forward position and he's not quick or athletic enough to defend small forwards. I think his best chance is to get his ass in shape to improve his quickness to play some bench minutes at small forward.

PJ3 and the Baylor Gang against the Wildcats at 2:20! Here's hoping for a strong showing from both teams.

nice PJ against Davis on the block.

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