Raptors Select Paskal Siakam 27th

[WeTheNorth123]

You can quote me. Siakam and Poetl will have way better rookie years than Skal.

Anyone who isn't a Skal fanboy knows that.

no doubt about that.....the problem is, who is gonna be better 3 years from now!!!

how many minutes is the 27th pick gonna play on a playoff team??

might as well go high risk, high reward

Do you guys know anything about him? I've read that he has a mid-range jumper, high motor, length and is very coachable. If you're bothered by your guy not getting picked, well no one likes your guy.

This dude actually has some pretty crazy numbers, both raw and analytically. 20 and 12 w/ 2 asts (and only 2 tos) and 2 blk; 31 PER .265 WS/48.

Trust me, I'm a computer

Pascal is nails tough... I'm totally ok with having guys like that over Skal. Chris was the upside guy I wanted

[0 - 100]

If anyone has been paying attention, we have drafted the 2 highest PER players in the draft. We also did it with Delon Wright as well.

[Mikistan]

I wonder if Masai knows analytics don't necessarily mean a damn thing. We just drafted two back to the basket big men. Basically drafted clones of JV and Biz.

offensively sure, but they also provide rebounds to bail our guards out, and hopefully defensive rebounding and blocks to bail our guards out

also, maybe casey is scared of athletic young-minded guys, cause the last sophmore he believed in was ross who went out and got a groupie preggerz and is now dating a celebrity

[MavCarter]

Kind of reminds me of biz

[Woodman19]

How do players with high PER from previous drafts fare?

[RaptorsLife]

im watching his draftexpress video dudes shooting 3s with ease.

[McFurious1]

I know nothing of this kid just from what we've heard. I like this pick. Hustle can rebound, block shots, shoot. Trust Masai.

Called it in this thread a few weeks ago. viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1451683&start=40#

Pascal Siakam - Serge Ibaka 2.0? 7'3 wingspan with a 8'11.5" standing reach plus he can jump out the gym? I'm intrigued

[Baashha]

Masai's african sleeper pic. yall need to chill, these guys know a whole a lot more than any of you.

I dont hate the pick. But you could have traded down.

[DHK]

hmm...from what I can see
Paskal doesnt really have a jumper.
Yes, he had a very high PER however he plays in an extremely weak conference where the only decent teams are Baylor and Wichita State. He had decent lines against them.
To note though..his team (New Mexico State) is absolute trash and basically a one man team. He's basically carrying the defensive and offensive load for them and in the baylor/wichita games, they basically just denied him the ball to really put him out of his game and made him shoot jumpers.

I'm not all over it but he's really not as bad as some of you think.
He's an analytical pick and possibly a hidden gem because he plays for a terrible team in a terrible conference that did not make any noise at all.

[Thespianoid]

I'm intrigued by his budding skill level. Already got the necessary toughness/interior production. Wonder how his feel is for passing/playmaking, if he really improves there as he has in other areas since getting legit coaching he could be a huge steal.

[TribeZulu]

I can live with this pick. Energy always translates and length never hurts.

Wanted Skal but apparently a lot of GMs weren't very high on him.

[TheGoodDoctor]

His stats....

Freshman 12.8ppg 7.7rpb 1.8bpg (per 40 - 16.6ppg 10.0rpg 2.3bpg)
