  • Draft Picks

    Should we consider retaining or accquring this year's draft pick.

    1) Nerlens Noel: It would be great to get him, seems like a legit C who can play the PF at the NBA level. He will look terrific with Val, this means Bargs + fillers will be traded for a SF. Even if Noel plays the center position, Val can be our him 6th man off the bench or shift Val to play the PF position. The likelyhood of getting Noel is we keep on tanking and hopefully we win the 1st pick (This way, we get to retain our pick).
    Best Case Scenario: Marcus Camby with a jump shot
    Worst Case Scenario: Kwame Brown with athleticism

    2) Cody Zeller: I personally think he will be a bust in the NBA. Some hype him to be the next Larry Bird. I don't know about that, can he shoot the 3. We already have Bargs and it looks like Zeller is like Bargs 2.0 who plays a little bit defense. I don't want the Raps to draft him if we retain our pick.
    Best Case Scenario: Andrea Bargnani
    Worst Case Scenario: Nick Collison

    3) Shabazz Muhammad: I really like this kid's game, he can shoot, plays defense, and rebound, does a little bit of everything. A James Harden or Kobe Bryant in the making, a cornerstone franchise player to build around. If we win the lottery and retain our pick, I say go for this guy. He will bring some crowd and provide the Raps with night in, night out play. We can still keep DeMar if Muhammad is our SG, definitely a SG we always wanted.
    Best Case Scenario: Kobe or James Harden
    Worst Case Scenario: Penny Hardaway (Injury)

    4) Alex Poythress: It looks like he might be the darkhouse to be the 1st or 2nd pick in the upcoming draft. I mean, this guy is awesome. A no-name dude who manage get himself to play for one of the toughest division, along with Noel and the Two Harrison twins, the Wildcats are looking to make a repeat for NCAA Championship this year. Poythress is just like MKG or could be better, he has a nice stroke and plays PF position but he's more of a traditional SF in the NBA sense. He's our SF of the future if we manage to acquire him through buying a pick
    Best Case Scenario: Paul Pierce or Paul George
    West Case Scenario: James Posey

    5) James McAdoo: A specimen in the making, he makes the game looks easy. He can shoot from the arc and attack the rim and rebound like a PF who can get you a double double on any given night. Question is, is he a SF or a PF. On the Raptors lineup, he sure makes a good SF while provide us with rebounds and defensive mechanism. I say give him go by buying a pick.
    Best Case Scenario: Camelo Anthony (minus the ego)
    Worst Case Scenario: James Johnson

    You think the Raps will be a bottom 5 team this year? They've only played 12 games!! There are more positives in their losses this year than negatives.

    I still think this team is good enough to compete for a playoff spot. Remember the 76ers team last year? i think that team started 1-8 or 1-9 something like that and they finished the year 35-31. Good enough to make the playoffs. Or the 2006 Raps team that won the division, i think that team started 2-8.

    The fact is, it's too early. If they're still playing like this, like this bad come game 30 then it might be time to bring back tank nation.

      This thread has little to do with the Raptors at this point and more to do with you wanting to make a thread with your name on it.

      TRUTH.

        Philly started 8-2 so they were the inverse.

        But I agree with your point still. Way to early to think the playoffs are out of hand.

          I remember philly startin really shitty 2 or 3 years ago, my classmate made a joke that they were saving Songaila (he played like 10 games the whole season) for the playoffs we laughed and they finished the season being the 7th or 8th seed (Songaila didnt play in the playofs though )

              A marathon is a race, he should have said "not a sprint"....just saying.

                Making spelling or grammar corrections from tweets is probably not something you want to start doing...

                Would probably drive you nuts...

                    The Harrison twins are still in high school. They'll be Wildcats next year which will likely be Noels' rookie NBA season.
