Great to hear that Alabi is making some progress. Hopefully there is a season and we can see a 4 man rotation of Dre, Davis, Amir and Alabi and watch their development. If Alabi proves to be a player the Raptors have some solid assets going forward in the front court.

Raptors so high on Alabi that they may not target a FA center?(OLD THREAD)

With a lot of ifs in the development department ... a frontcourt with Alabi and Valanciunas would be downright scary with a combined wingspan of about 14'11''."Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."

This is all a cover up. The real reason they arn't targeting FA centers is because André Börg demands the center position and has scared off all possible FA centers from the Raptors.
But in all seriousness it's good to hear something good about Alabi. Doubt he is capable of starting next season though..

One really good thing about the lockout and players signing in europe, in particular, lithuania, is that Jonas might get to bang with some NBA players before next year. Even if its for just a little bit, it would help the transition when he comes over.

Keep in mind with the lockout we'll be lucky to have a season at all. If there ends up being more than 25ish games I guarantee you they'll sign someone. I'm sure they're high on him but i don't think they're that high.@sweatpantsjer

I didn't know alabi had a knee injury I guess that explains alot. I still like the kid I just hope he is getting stronger much stronger than I seen in the d league.
If he can protect the rim like he should with his height and length, we don't need to go after a center. Get rim of our two point guards we need that D on the perimeter.
