Regarding Bebe...
He's long, mobile and already has displayed decent defensive IQ and instincts for a young guy. There's definitely legit potential there...Something I'm not sure you could ever say with Alabi or O'Bryant...the former had no feel for the game whatsoever, and the latter was a clumsy, incredibly soft, jumpshooting C who was awful defensively in every sense.
Bebe may never amount to anything, but he has displayed enough tools to think he could actually turn into a mobile defensive C in the NBA, probably in a backup/role playing capacity.
*For names, of varying talent/bball IQ levels, I think of guys like Brandon Wright, Ian Mahinmi, Chris Andersen, JaVale McGee...that type of niche (though hopefully not as dumb or underachieving as McGee...that guy's just a mess).

I don't think Bebe has as much natural potential, but if he's more mature he can at least play the backup role McGee has right now, and probably do a better job.

Probably a legit starter and maybe even a top 10-15 C in the league...he's just such a dumbass though. It's kind of sad. Because he also doesn't appear to have a particularly bad attitude or anything...

I know this isn't a tanking thread, but just continuing the discussion from earlier today. Michael Grange weighs in:
The Raptors’ dirty little secret was that they were going to be one of the tankers last season with an eye toward positioning themselves for a shot at No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins. A year ago Toronto was 3-4 after seven games, on its way to a 7-13 start. The Rudy Gay trade was the beginning of what was supposed to be the great dismantling. Lowry was next out the door until Dolan nixed the deal that would have sent Toronto’s current cornerstone to New York.
