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

[Blacklash2k4]

Pistons totally got a steal at the 9th spot..

[ceez]

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.

[Blacklash2k4]

Tone down the racism... Valanciunas looks like a pretty solid EURO coming in.

I know. It was a joke...

[Rainman]

Now I gotta watch some clips. Wasn't expecting this to happen...

[MangoKid]

Good on the Pistons. That's a solid foundation with Drummond, Munroe and Knight

[CalgaryRapsFan]

On the bright side: He's not another euro?

I am rooting for Drummond. I hope he fits in with Monroe.

Golden State can't offer them $10+M in cap relief like Toronto can, which is the main reason they would trade Gay - to re-sign Mayo, Speights and Arthur.

Ross & Davis & JJ for Gay & #25 --> would free up over $11M cap space for Memphis

Just curious. What about Deng? Chicago have been wanting Barnes for a long time now...

[draftedraptor]

We could have traded down to 15 and still got him.

frustrating.

after missing out on barnes

[CalgaryRapsFan]

Can't they go to Golden State for Barnes?

this some bullshit right here

[MangoKid]

I think people need to chill. Good pick at the #3 spot.

I liked Ross alot, just not at #8. Meh. I'm happy with this.

Unless there's a trade with another team, this is a highly questionable pick at this spot. If the Raptors love surprising people, they just should have drafted the guy who was rated as the 60th player to go in the draft.

[grindhouse]

I really like the pick waiters, harkless, Ross so I am happy

[Miekenstien]

don't mind the ross pick just a bit early for him i think
