Official Raptors 2012 NBA Draft Thread, Part 12

This pick is as good as gone, I'm glad I didn't waste much time in the draft thread this season.

And in the unlikely event that we do end up picking, there's about 7 different guys I'd be ok with. @8 my indifference to this draft is staggering.

I'm not even a Lillard supporter and not defending him, but a free throw line dunk is impressive regardless. If it wasn't in fact a FT line dunk then not so much.

Talk about overhyping haha

Chad Ford said he dunked from the free throw line from his field of view and that everyone watching started taking notes. When they tried to get the clip up Chad said that wasn't the right one. Lillard's agent Aaron Goodwin said he's got a 40 inch vert so the kid can jump.

No one's talking about him overall, it's about that specific dunk. That dunk was weak, but we're not saying he's has Oden knees. Calm yourself with Lillard. Chad Ford failed when he said it was from the free throw line.

I'm starting to get excited about Lillard. I'm hopin off the Lamb train and getting on the Lillard one. He seems like the real deal. He's smart has a good head on his shoulders and sounds like he will continue to work on his game and is determine to get better. The same can't be said for Lamb.

I'm getting more excited about one of the big names falling to us. Lillard is doing everything right and if Golden State really wants Sullinger this draft will be epic. Beal, MK, Robinson.... One of them must fall if those other guys rise. Beal would give us a fiery competitor on the wing which we need, so would MKG to the extreme. And Robinson may not be big enough to some, but he plays hard as hell and is a beast. If Jonas developed into a decent shot blocker Robinson would not have to worry so much about changing shots inside. Plus he's a very good rebounder. If they were good enough together you could use Bargnani to trade for some other need.... Alright Beal is the most realistic at the moment, but a guy can dream.

Best Combine interviews in my opinion: Damian Lillard, Kendall Marshall, Austin Rivers, Royce White, Bradley Beal, Tyler Zeller Moe Harkless

Because I'm trolling you, being the devoted Lillard supporter you are. But don't overhype his dunk, it was nothing special and NOT from the free throw line, not even close. When you see it you'll realize how average it was. They even said Jay Williams could do that right now.

That's great man, I saw the clip too and ya it wasn't that great from that vantage point. I could careless if you're not big on Lillard.

It wasn't great from any vantage point, it's pretty obvious how mediocre it was just watching the dunk. Does that mean he doesn't have great hops? No. It just means that dunk wasn't special. How hard is that to understand? And yeah, I'm not really high on Lillard, but the phrase you were looking for was "couldn't care less", not "could care less". /school

Didn't Ford say the clip shown was not the free throw dunk he was referring to?

He said it was a bad angle because the rest of the guys were talking about how underwhelming it was.

Did he say it was a bad angle, or did he actually say it wasn't the right clip?

Well his mic was off but Ryen Russillo said Chad was talking about how it was a bad angle.

Ooo typo it happens when you type fast bro, but thanks for finding that error for me. Good to know I can count on you to proofread my posts. Plus like I said before Chad Ford said it was the wrong clip.

No he didn't, but whatever you say Lillard supporter...

Lillard supporter? I prefer Lambs idiotic self tbh. And how is saying a ft line dunk should be impressive jumping to his defense. Wow, just wow.
