I've wanted Stauskas on the Raptors for years, lol.

 

E: Holy f*** has his handle improved, that's silky. And he's got some really nice court vision. 3 point shooter who can create his own shot and pass from Canada? Ujiri pls.

 

Who does everyone want the Raptors to take assuming they keep their late first? Mine is probably Hood/LaVine if they slip, Ennis, Stauskas, McDermott, Robinson III, Anderson. For whatever it's worth, nbadraft.net has Aaron Gordon going #21.

 

If we got Lavine in the 20s...I would cream immediately. Shades of Russell Westbrook. Either of the Canadian boys would be great too (not because they are Canadian but they legitimately fill a need for the team while most likely being BPA if they are still there)

[letsgobjs]

Lol, that's ridiculous. The draft is all about projecting what they'll be down the road.

 

Adam Morrison destroyed college, I guess he was the next Larry Bird right?

 

I don't think it's out of the question to think that Parker and Embiid could be drafted ahead of him. Obviously it's about projecting a player, but I'm sure some GMs think he won't become as good a player as Parker.

[SpeedyGose]

Possibly but I think Parker is pretty close to what he will end up being. Wiggins ceiling is much higher IMO.

 

If a team is looking for a player who is more NBA ready, you are right, they could take Jabari. However, if my team is picking in the top 5, I am looking for the highest ceiling rather than most NBA ready.

I agree, I'd also take the player with the highest ceiling, in this case Wiggins. But I think many want a quick impact player and are probably swayed by the point totals.

Embiid > Wiggins > Parker

 

I heard Dante Exum is a very good prospect but I haven't seen him play.

1-Jabari

2-Wiggins (Hight ceiling)

3-Randle

4-Embiit

5-Smart

6-Exum

7-Vonleh

Embiid is considering staying in school for another year (would be ridiculous, take the money when you can young man).

 

Excited for the game tonight. Gay will be extra motivated, and I think it'll be a shootout early on, but our depth will win out in the 4th.

Harrison brothers could do the same.

Wiggins

Parker

Randle

Embiid at 4? lol ok....

[eastcoastjaysfan]

And my Rogers box decides to f***ing crap out on me tonight.

 

Wonderful.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Pull the power cord, from the back of the box, wait 30 seconds, put it back in and let it recycle, than voila, you'll be good to go.

 

Did that several times now.... How long does it take? It's been doing that little looping green dot thing for the last 30-40 minutes.

 

Very irritating.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Call Rogers, to reset you're box, it shouldn't take no more than 5 minutes, they'll hook you up.

 

Already did that. Lady was completely useless. Said the earliest someone could come to my place to take a look is Monday.

 

lol Just terrible service.

[GD]

f***ing west coast trips.

[SpeedyGose]

Embiid

Wiggins

Parker

Randle

Exum

Smart

 

and so on

 

That's pretty much my top 6, although I don't love Smart and I think you'll see Lavine in the conversation as well as Ennis before the end of the year.

Pretty cool

I feel like those two slip, but that might be wishful thinking, cause I like both.

[theblujay]

f***ing west coast trips.

 

Sleep vs. BBalll

[theblujay]

I hope someone drafts Aaron Craft in the second round. It's a joy to watch him play defense with his all hustle, all out, all the time mentality. Draft as a defense first backup pg and tell him not to shoot

My two favorite things

 

well f***

[jays_fever]

The game will be over by 12 30..are you both 12 years old

[GD]

The game will be over by 12 30..are you sleep deprived

 

yes

[dineke]

My two favorite things

 

well f***

 

Um... sex? Or are you really 12?

[GD]

for someone who is repeatedly reminded of his teenagerness on this board it's really quite a mystery that people don't remember my age

[Chappy]

Or anybody with a day job.

[jays_fever]

Or anybody with a day job.

 

I know he's in high school so I doubt he's sleeping more than 7 hours anyways. Middle aged men is a different case

[GD]

.......and always wrap it up.

 

Good 'ol Spank

[dineke]

Your 2 favorite things should be:

 

1. Sex

2. Masturbation

 

Sometimes #2 is bumped up to #1 depending on the girl you have.
