Kill me know!

Fucking shit. Lamb would've been perfect.

[Red and White]

True or False.

Terrence Ross plays with the Toronto Raptors next year.

So much for taking the BPA. Shit, they took the pick based on need. It's awful. If Ross is in training camp in October, it's a horrible move by Colangelo. Horrible - and you can sticky this comment.

[Soft Euro]

You think? I doubt Portland would take him at #11, but you never know. I'm guessing BC just didn't like any deals and didn't want to risk losing him for picking up a minor asset. Gotta love that BC is willing to go for his man.

Maybe yes, maybe no, but it's a gamble if you want him; I think it's only a small reach and as Mangokid said; a trade down would only get you a small asset (for a chance to miss your guy).

Edit: it was you who said that, not Mango. Can't keep up here.

[ReubenJRD]

Well, at least we got a small forward.

[MangoKid]

True or False.

Terrence Ross plays with the Toronto Raptors next year.

True. Unfortunately.

From Draftexpress Advanced Statistical Analysis:

-Terrence Ross' 0.995 overall PPP ranks eighth of the 18 wing prospects, and he's doing so on the seventh-highest number of possessions per game at 16.3. Ross stands out most with his second-best 1.389 PPS on shots around the basket, though he also posted a respectable seventh-best 1.184 PPS on jumpers, speaking to his versatility. Given his ability to score efficiently as a jump shooter and likewise do so getting to the basket off the ball, Ross has a nice groundwork of skills for a role playing wing at the next level, and could use them to help find a niche early.

Ross was no. 8 on Hollinger's Big Board ahead of Barnes and Lillard.

Is his phone in his pocket, or is he happy to be going to Toronto?!

Interesting. Watching it would be really helpful for those who don't watch him very much.

[Hotshot]

True or False.

Terrence Ross plays with the Toronto Raptors next year.

True, BC got high and drafted Terrence Ross because of his initials.

Urr I don't know... how about that kid Terrence Ross?! his got the same initials as the Toronto Raptors so it must be a sign right Gheradini?!

[NoPropsneeded]

the biggest surprise was Dion Waiters though. That was a huge reach and they really did draft based on need

Maybe he's just exited to shake hands with Stern.
