Ejim's an excellent player - perceived to be a low ceiling, high floor kind of guy. He's the sort of guy you draft when you want an Alan Anderson type to make your bench that much deeper, and those guys usually go in the mid-40s. Which is why I would take him at 37 (or try to buy Philly's 39, if we can draft T-Po as a project at 37).

Hearing: Knicks have explored possibility of swapping Iman Shumpert for late first-round pick heading into Thursday's draft
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 23, 2014
Knicks apparently interested in Ennis or Hairston.
Hairston is projected at 22 via DE.
... interesting but we have too much depth at SG anyway and Shumpert had an ACL so won't be as explosive as he once was.

This guy is now my target at 20. I'd take him over Payne as Payne is really looking worn out after all the workouts, his lung concern is a big red flag.Myself (March 2014):
The raptors are a tremendous young team and will win a championship in the following five years.

As an aside: I am quite certain we can simply buy one of Phoenix' first rounders (if they don't use them to try to trade up). Robert Sarver loves to sell first-round picks. This is known. Simply offer them a few million for #18; if they say no, same offer but for #27. Toronto is a large-market team in terms of money available and we should act like it.
If we're not buying another first-rounder, then buy second-rounders. There's lots of talent in the second round and lots of picks that should be available. If we refuse Salmons/Hansbrough/Buycks/Stone, trade Novak (it's doable, possibly for a second-rounder - Novak is basically a shooting coach who can play minutes for you at this point) and don't bring back Nando, we have up to six roster slots available. There's no reason not to put 3-4 rooks, at least, on the bench - especially if we're looking seriously at immediate-contributor types like Ejim and Bachynski.

Its laughable in that they are equipped with no assets, no cap space and no draft picks. They do have no shortage of media coverage looking to fill airtime though on incredulous "what if" material. They couldn't even sign a coach and when they did they had to pay tampering fees to boot. What a shit show.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

The Saric news says "in principle"....which one can run a truck thru. Among stipulations might be that he stays in Europe if drafted below a certain number (which also means dollars) etc etc. It just sounds fishy that he would do this in the draft week.
