The Raptors and the 2014 Draft

[Jamshid]

I want to see him in Summer League. Can he do that even if he's not gonna play in the NBA?

Me too. I like to see him in summer league against some of his fellow draft mates.

Oh damn! Tavares to the Hawks

[Jamshid]

dude people knew who val was. He was on mocks and the dx big board throughout the process. I and several others more vocal than me were on record wanting val.

I don't know a single person across three raps websites who has so much as mentioned bruno.

And the bigger question is value. Now that we know we were the one who gave bruno the promise, not sure who else was going to pick him.

This smells more like bc bidding against himself than anything.

bingooo again

Such a Spurs pick (which is maybe why the Hawks got him since their coach used to be an assistant coach with the Spurs)

Balassiano says Caboclo has only been playing basketball five years. Could be in Toronto soon discussing buyout. Maybe Summer League.

please LORD

Who's Balassiano?

[mcHAPPY]

Can't compare. JV was a consensus top 5 pick who only fell to Raps cause of uncertainty around his buyout. Fans were ticked cause we still had Bargnani on our minds. This is an entirely different scenario. I understand why people don't like it.

Actually I can compare and just did.

People upset because they don't know.... I don't either.

The thread is here somewhere, go back to 2011. Unhappy campers.

[phiLLy]

Good to know that he might be in Summer League at least.

“I’m happy as hell right now, gave the goose bumps, very excited.” Bruno Caboclo tells another Brazilian journalist, Fabio Balassiano.

Caboclo is from a very poor family in Brazil. Driven to succeed. Very shy, doesn’t talk much.

#Raptors Casey says they were worried some1 else would grab him. Grt wing span & he'll b able guard 3/4 Was totally impressed when I saw him

I wanted val as well fwiw.

I don't know anyone on boards who works for Raps

At least we're speeding along to our last pick.

No trades for us it looks like.

Imagine how the entire fanbase reacts when bruno scored 0 pts 0 reb in 1st SL game.

Based on "very shy, doesn't talk much" I'm going to assume we got the next Kawhi Leonard. Great pick.

There were essentially no trades in this draft, the only 3 semi-big trades were teams trading up/down.

Dwight Powell.
