Remember when everyone was all "ughhh the 2011 draft"

[blackjitsu]

I was hoping we picked Kawhi or Kemba. I followed SDSU that year because I'm a fan of their coach (since his days coaching the Fab 5). I knew that Kawhi, at worst was going to be a defensive specialist who could guard 4 positions. Remember those huge hands!?

Kemba was just clutch.

That said, I was stunned that Jonas dropped. The only thing I knew about him was that he was supposed to be a top 3 pick. I was cool with the pick. The Raps desperately needed a center.

Pretty much how I felt across the board.

I'm tired of people over rating Leonard, don't get me wrong he's a great player, but people are ranking as one of the best wings in the NBA. Leonard doesn't have a lot of skill, that system just makes him and his stats look good.

The system is part of it but he is very good.

He is all-NBA defense.

Pop said last night they do not run ANY plays for him. That tells you he knows how to create opportunities off the ball and for himself. Pop also said not running plays will change next year.

I agree he is being a little overblown right now but if he is not one of the better wings in the NBA he is not far from it. He is 22! He'll be 23 on the 29th.

I'm just tired of the commentators mentioning his hands 20x a game. There's a lot more to him than his hands, he probably knows how busty girls feel.

I think jonas dropped because of his contract in Europe he did stay another year before coming to toronto

Whatever, it turned out well for us.

I think in a redraft, he might crack top 3, depending on which teams are picking.

He would be there with Leonard, Irving, Walker and Thompson.

I'm itching to see what Jonas will become. Can we just fast track his development by 4 seasons right now? If he were at his peak, this franchise would be in a completely different position. JV means more to the future of the Raps than any other player on the roster, by a landslide.

Note of the day: if I hear "over-exaggerate" come out of my car's radio during a drive-to-work morning show one more time, I will rip it out of the dashboard and throw it out the window.
