Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 12

[Garmfay]

Why would the Warriors take Lamb when they have Klay Thompson?

Lamb's going in the teens.

You were dead right calling Val last year but Lamb is too skilled to go in the teens.

Lmao Lamb won't fall to the teens. No need to worry about that. He'll be a Raptor

Just like how Kemba was going to be a Raptor?

Austin Rivers will be better than Lamb, Beal and Waiters. Rivers has "it".

BC would be a really smart gm if he could trade the 8th pick and get us a quality player. Then trade our second round picks and move up into the first round. Id love to get Rudy Gay and Tony Wroten on draft night. Go into the offseason with JV, Gay and Wroten. Who knows maybe BC signs a FA too after he amnesties Jose. All wishfull thinking on my part.

Maybe instead of like laughing at anyone who ever says anything bad about Lamb you would actually acknowledge his weaknesses instead. But Rivers > Beal is a joke

[DG88]

If not Lamb I'd take Lillard with the 8th pick

I've already acknowledged what his weaknesses are if you followed the draft thread since the beginning. Lamb is almost flawless offensively whether you agree or not which is fact, but he still needs some work defensively. He's got the physical and athletic tools, just needs to play with more consistent effort which I can see under Casey. A fool would actually believe Rivers is better than Lamb.

Why isn`t he in the convo for Top 3 pick.

If not Lamb than I'll be pretty depressed but fight tooth and nail to remain optimistic as Lillard, PJ3, Rivers and Waiters are all reaches....if we draft Marshall, I'm burning my Raptor jersey and becoming a Grizz fan not only because I like the makeup of their team but because they are a formerly Vancouver's team lol

:lol: Why isn`t he in the convo for Top 3 pick.

Why is MKG a top 3 pick who has tons of holes in his game then?

He won't be come draft time. Hes a hyped up Gerald Wallace

[Undefeated]

Okay, if you don't think Lamb is flawless offensively, tell me what his weaknesses are offensively. I'm all ears.

[Garmfay]

Settles way too much for jumpers. Skinny frame which I don't think can gain a ton of muscle to be able to take alot of contact attacking the rim. Hence he doesn't get to the line alot. Can he create for others? We know DeRozan can't. And of course, the lack of motor which is why he settles for jumpers

[DG88]

If he was flawless offensively he'd be in the discussion of being top 3. He's not because he mainly settles for jump shots, he doesn't dish assists well and he doesn't get to the line enough.
