Raptors NBA Draft Thread: Bradley Beal

Kid's a baller, plain and simple. You cannot go wrong with him. I'd still prefer Lamb, but if he's available because Lamb goes higher then expected we should be thanking our lucky stars.

I hear there's a big demand right now for Hidden Tiger Crouching Dragon wire-fu fight choreographers to shoot pre-draft workout videos.

he has a silky jumper, i think him and demar could do some damage on the court together

Meh, not impressed. DD is better.

Unfortunately, I think the odds of the Raptors getting him are really poor. I don't think he'll got top three, so if we move up we probably won't take him. And if we drop or stay where we are he will already be gone.

The Raptors would be nuts not to consider him for the pick if they get #2 or #3.

I'm going to miss these comments when Beal/Lamb replaces DD as the starter

Of course they'll at least consider him. But a 6-3 pure SG is not going top three in this draft. No way. If he measures out longer, that's different.

He's an 100% shooter!

I would be surprised if he's less then 6-4 without shoes.

If scouts did their homework, they would know Beal plays much bigger than his size often guarding players much taller than him in the block, and that his size isn't an issue. Talent wise, he's a top 3 in my books.

Better at dribbling or shooting or passing. Which one of these three?

Nothing I didn't already know about Beal. Nice handle, Smooth jumper.

I am surprised you haven't updated his height for more than a year, and using strong words like "No way". It has been discussed that he is closer to 6-4/6-5 and can guard bigger player than his size.

Wow.... he didn't miss a single shot.

I should stick to my usual habit around this time and resolve not talk about players until the combine measurements (although it looks like we now have accurate info on Lamb). It's a waste of time. But if Beal is 6' 3" without shoes, and D-Rob is 6' 9" without shoes, then I know who I'd expect to go top 3. Of course, trading down a place or two in exchange for a real asset (NOT a Khrypa) would be an option.

Knowing Raptors fans, it'll be 3 years after Beal/Lamb taking the starting spot before those comments stop :lol:

Beal looks really nice in this video, but would prefer to see him compete in some drew league games before I really pass any sort of judgement on him.

all you need to see in this video is how smooth that jump shot looks. Purest form you ever seen, seriously Ray allen like.

That alone is why he'll be in the league a long time.

This reminds me of James Harden moving up in the draft. Lets hope luck is with us this time.

If still on the Board by our pick what are the chanches we draft him?
