Not my favourite pick, but other than Drummond, was there really anybody noticeably better? Maybe Lamb, but really, once the first seven picks were made it was really a sea of near-equal potential. I'm shocked. I'm disappointed that we didn't land Lillard or Barnes. But I'm not ready to second-guess the pick based on the players who were off the board already.

His trade value alone is enough to warant the pick. Let's hope Ross is worth being taken over Rivers and Lamb also. Hey, you never know, maybe some sort of deal offers some insight into this pick...cause it simply makes zero sense as of right now.
I can't wait for the press conference with BC and Casey smiling and saying "this is the guy we always wanted to take, he is solid" or some crap like that.
For every move BC makes that's right, he makes a counter move that ain't right which is why the Raptors haven't really gotten anywhere in years.
I see Drummond becoming the Rudy Gay of 2012. You know the guy with the great talent but slipped in the draft standings because he had questionable character or work ethics.Last edited by Hotshot; Thu Jun 28, 2012, 09:11 PM.

ROOSSSSSS!!!!
Yes. yes! Fantastic pick.
I posted earlier today about the complete nonsense of drafting Harrison Barnes. For everyone who hates this pick...I'm assuming you'd have preferred Harrison Barnes? Why, exactly? Because he's famous and was slotted higher?
Let's be clear here:
Last season Terrence Ross, compared to Harrison Barnes: shot a better percentage across the board (2FG, 3FG, FG, FT). He rebounded better, dished out more assists, stole more balls, and blocked more shots. You want to criticize Ross, perhaps, because he might not be the best shot creator...I guess? Well, just watch Harrison Barnes' last NCAA tournament for a lesson in how NOT to create your own offense. Ross is the just the better player.
Terrence Ross. For the win. Excellent, excellent pick. The pick is gutsy like the tin man in a rain storm, but it's the right pick. For the second year in a row.Last edited by jeff_hostetler; Thu Jun 28, 2012, 09:34 PM.

And I like how you changed the name of this thread from "fire BC" to "Fire Colangelo because he doesn't agree with the mock draft". How about you get it right instead and agree to say " Fire Colangelo because of his 6 mediocre years track record of the Toronto Raptors due to bad decisions and missed oppertuinities"
