Sabonis at #9 NO THANK YOU
Thon at #27

[Kevin Willis]

Scola was our starting PF for us last year. You can't see some of Scola in Ellenson's game except he's taller, longer and close to 20 years younger? Ellenson will be a good rotational stretch 4 if we can't get Chriss. Chriss and Ellenson need to work on their D.

K Love is doing alright and he has no D. Of course Love has a better BBIQ, better 3 pt% and was a better post defender but there is a place for Ellenson.

They've had him or Poeltl sitting there for like the last 2 months, safe to assume they're trolling for hits so our legion of fans comes to see it out of disbelief. I'm willing to bet anything we don't take either and if we do I'm gonna wish I took that stupid TV warranty the guy at the Brick spent a hr trying to sell me after I slam my fist right through it. One absolutely failed coin toss was enough disgust to last me a lifetime, I don't need to endure part II.

Yup, not on the Raptors.

[Wally West]

Just read raps have their eye on whitehead at 27...havent seen him play, but saw highlights ..not sure if that would be the best pick

No way at 27th....for a guy who might go undrafted.....he shoots 37% from the field

Raps don't care about offensive efficiency. This makes sense.

Would anyone trade #9 and #27 for Denver's #15 and #19? Would Denver?

I just get the feeling that we'll find more value in the late teens.

No, someone really good will likely drop to us at 9. The Dame can't be sod for Pick 15. We have SAC picking right before us,so there is a very good chance they take the wrong player again.

There's no way on earth Masai would pick Ellenson over Skal.

This right here is why he's not a good fit on the Raptors. Especially being a poor defender. Just because he's not a good fit for us doesn't mean there isn't a place for him. His offensive game alone should allow him to find a rotation spot.

I wouldn't say that, Ellenson measured very well, he is a Big Guy. Masai likes size and length

Masai is big on demeanour and Skal was a mental midget at Kentucky so idk about that

[Double Helix]

Deyonta Davis will be better than Jermaine Moiso but even the fact that my mind went there... Bad omen. Prefer Skal.

I am sure the thought occurs to the Raptors that they are not going to choose another Bargs to replace THE Bargs.

[OAKLEY_2]

Hopefully Sac takes Ellenson. We take the Jaylen. After that it is Bartender work your magic. Going big always carries the most risk. Seriously do not see what people see in Davis.

[Dario]

Why no love for Sabonis? Dudes father was a monster. and the Power LITHUANIAN FRONT COURT. There would be no Rim protection their though. Lol. And i see Sabonis more as a C in the future.

Masai was around when we first picked Bargnani. A healthier Bargs who rebounded better and who loved basketball more wouldn't be a bad pick at 9 if we didn't have JV. Ellenson would be intriguing if Biyombo somehow was our only C but that obviously isn't the case.

OT but....

I know nbadraft.net and DraftExpress but what are some other sites for the upcoming draft

[OAKLEY_2]

CBS sports isn't bad. I think hoopshype lifts from draft express.
