2012 Draft Thursday, June 28th: Raptors select Terence Ross

[stretch]

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

By this time tomorrow, Everyone's gonna love Ross.

Hopefully! I think its a good pick! Probably some more shuffling to do, but I think he'll be solid.

RUMOR: Chris Broussard reports that the Raptors may amnesty Jose Calderon in pursuit of Steve Nash. Good or bad idea?

Broussard's an idiot. Calderon is a good veteran PG on an expiring contract... he wouldn't be very hard to trade, plus the Raps could have about $12M in cap space without using amnesty on anybody...

This ESPN crew also had Bargnani listed as starting C last year and said there was talk of moving him to PF this season... they clearly don't follow Raptors basketball.

Ross might be a good player and no one hates him. but why pick him over a big projected to go top 5?

Torching

Now wait to see Drummond torching Raptors each time we play Pistons ... The like Iggy, Granger and son on!

[CalgaryRapsFan]

I really like Ross but that's a heck of a reach. I wonder if this is some kind of trade or something. Could have traded down for him.

You'd think they could've traded with Houston and drafted Ross @ #12, while picking up Lowry. Either BC really loves him, or another team does.

[draftedraptor]

Why did we not pick Drummond?

[Maleko]

I said long ago in the main draft thread that I had a feeling TRoss could be the best player to come out of this draft excluding Davis.

Very happy but I think we could have traded down to get him and gain an asset.

[Ambidextrious]

WOW TERRENCE ROSS!!??
I didnt see that one coming. but man am i ever excited with the pick. I think BC made an excellent pick.
