Malik Pope has been such a huge disappointment this year.

Jonathan Jeanne
France
Age: 18
Center/forward
Jeanne is an upside pick who might take a couple of years to come over to the NBA. But when he does, he has the chance to be awesome.
Blessed with elite size for his position, he can not only protect the rim with a crazy 7-foot-6 wingspan, but he has the ability to step out and shoot the jumper as well.@Chr1st1anL

He's just so far away right now. Not quite two-years-away-from-two-years-away, but pretty damn far away, nonethless.@Chr1st1anL

I kinda like PETR CORNELIE http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...ornelie-61916/ with our pick. Has the potential top be a good stretch 4.
I think the Raps have to stash at least one player this year. The 905 are full with Bruno, Wright, Powell, Bennett, Bebe. I see two players at most giving valuable minutes in a bench role next year... if that. 15 player roster, 5 guys presently rotating down to the 905, plus two more rookies... the numbers don't add up.
DeMar, Lowry, JV, PP, Ross, Joseph, Biyombo, and Carrol will be back for sure. We still need a starting PF, and my guess is Powell, Bebe, and Wright won't be going down to the 905 next year (maybe one at a time). If Bennett is retained, I don't see him going down either (I kinda hope we keep him). Basically, after signing a PF we only have one roster spot left.
So, either we try to move up by combining the two picks or we stash a player in Europe.
Ivan Rabb is someone I would move up a couple spots to get.Last edited by saints91; Sat Jan 30, 2016, 01:39 PM.

Buddy Hield is legit, but, he'll measure small and he's a senior. I actually think that he could play some PG since he can split screens and is a willing passer. I like his game but don't see why the Raps would draft him.
This Jeanne guy looks rawer than sushi. He's being coached well, but his defensive footwork is poor and he reaches way too much on D. He's probably 2/3 years away. As a draft and stash in the second round? Sure. If the Raps keep winning and the pick is around 25-ish maybe?
Can Masai get away with that sort of gamble if Bruno doesn't start resembling an NBA player soon?
I agree with the consensus on Rabb. He's been a pleasant surprise. Mature beyond his years.
