The Toronto Raptors select Pascal Siakam with the 27th pick in the draft.

I don't know if I posted anything about this pick but if I did I apologize to Pascal and Masai.

I wasn't too familiar with Siakam, but quickly talked myself into the pick after I checked out his stats and game tape.

Chad Ford is a fraud

A good old ‘pulling the receipts’ thread.

Skal

BOTH ON THE BOARD!!

Passing twice on high-upside plays like Labissiere and Davis is disgusting

When a potential top-10 talent slides, you make the damn pick and worry about the rest later

Even the GODDAMN KINGS had the sense to pick up SKAL with the very next pick (28)...even tho he didn't work out for them either!

This post has like 4 font sizes. Multi colours. Cap locks, emojis.. all kinds of anger.

With Bruno And1'ing the OG thread and now this Siakam thread getting bumped, people are going to be real careful about what they post during our next draft lol.

Pascal
Delon
Jakob
Norm
OG

Just checked this kid's stats and looking pretty beastly tbh lmao

Every year its an over reaction by our fan base. The way you guys post in draft threads would have people think you get paid to be NBA scouts. But you aren't, so maybe its a lesson to stop judging players so quickly. Masai knows what he's doing, you guys dont.

seems like Masai's hit on 3/4 picks in the 20s (maybe 4/4).. thats pretty damn good

Best part is I already got a nick for him.Paskal Knock Em Siakim.

Reasonable as usual. Only thing I'd change is I blew the nick name. Should be Rock em Siakim.

Bruno is a bust lets not kid ourselves. Every other pick is looking pretty good rn, which is still amazing.

I just accidentally gained a "i hate brunoskull club" in just one day. Never got a chance to read these threads on draft day, the Bruno draft thread was one I'm trying to forget lol.
