Jaylen Brown, Buddy Hield (if these two drop) or Timothe Luwawu (if previous 2 are gone) ...

Simple as that

3 way tie for 8th? well you know the Raptors are about to lose two coin tosses in a row.

Word out of New York is they're using a special coin with David Stern's face on each side and Milwauke and Sacramento are allowed to call it first.

9th has been good to us... I'm cool with picking there. I have a feeling a wing will drop to us and we'll end up with a Jaylen Brown or Jamal Murray.

DeMar and Tracy were high risk/high reward types and panned out very well. So taking a chance at Skal there might not be a bad idea as well. The draft is pretty much luck based and 9th has been lucky for us.

Which movie theatre is showing the coin toss in IMAX?

Are there any mediocre potential draftees whose names rhyme with "toss" or "flip"?

How come Draft express has had Henry Ellenson top 10 all year and this board hates him to the point i'm even turned off by him now.

A mock draft has Murray being selected 1 spot before the Raptors get a chance to pick.

Sounds about right, whole country wanting one guy (especially a canadian guy) and missing out by 1 pick.

Kind of lumbers up the court. Basically runs like a guy who doesn't run much, if that makes sense to anybody. Not that it's the most critical ability. Bruno runs end to like a gazelle and he's no star at this point.

I noticed that too. His size is impressive, but his athleticism is questionable based on the footage available.

Tough to evaluate him. That's what the pre-draft camps & workouts are for.

He could go high or he could go undrafted for all we know.

You gotta grab DBox seats to feel the rumbling of the coin bouncing off the floor.

I dont know much about him but his face = hansborough = dont want with lottery pick, even though Thans was a lottery pick and a servicable big man in the NBA.

Also, what time is the legendary coin toss?

If you owned a billion dollar company, how would you feel about a valuable asset being decided by some shmucks index and thumb action? Just doesn't make sense

Blame the players/coach for losing to Denver twice

Don't know why they kept him so high (maybe stats?), but the reason why this board hates him is that he's a big white guy who's unathletic and can't really play defense, from what I understand.

I could definitely see us taking him. Put up 17 and 10 as freshman in the Big East and while he only hit 28% of his 3s, he took 104 of them and hit 75% of his FTs, which Pelton at ESPN says is actually the better long-term indicator of shooting ability.

So, I could see us taking him to replace Scola/Thompson in the "traditional 4 who also takes 3s role".

But the case against him is solid; He wasn't particularly efficient and at 6'10, 250, probably won't be quick enough to play the 4 and defend well next to Jonas. Is he maybe a 5 in the pros? Sort of a tweener?

So whens the flip?
