You have nothing to back up this statement. I know people connected with the organization and the Raptors knew plenty about Drummond, and they didn't like what they saw. They made the wrong decision, but it wasn't based on "not looking into him much".
So BC admitting Drummond was top 3 talent in the draft and yet didn't pick him is nothing to back my statement?
Could you ask the people you know who are connected with the organization on why they pass on Drummond when their own GM stated that he was top 3?
Cause I can't see how a GM can say that a player is top 3 and then didn't draft him because "they didn't like what they saw". If that's the case, they ought to be fired.
This - and all the nonsense about us not needing talent but more focus and attention to detail, while reminding everyone that we're still in a 2 and a 1/2 year rebuild that consists of trading future draft picks for a short term point guard and extending a player over his market value in hopes that he would play up to his value even though you seemed to have drafted a contingency plan if someone were to offer said player a contract you wouldn't have matched - makes it seem like BC is a walking contradiction, I don't know why people call bargs an enigma, he's the real enigma.
All it seems like to me is a man who is desperately trying to save his job.
