When Ray changed his scouted potential from C to B, I knew it had to be a good sign. Why you were targeting him with your 2nd though, is beyond me. or my late 1st. he is very very raw No more raw than Jonas Valanciunas. |

I'm very happy I was able to get Valanciunas. I mean, I knew he'd still be on the board at 5, but I didn't know he'd be there at 10, and I didn't want to take any risks with him. Glad I didn't, cos a lot of other people were looking at him before 10... phew.

However, I couldn't pass up the promising PG in a PG driven league.. |

Has anyone seen this guy actually play? And, I don't mean when he was 17 just starting out in the pros. I mean lately. has anyone seen Jonas Valanciunas play lately? He's really fucking good. Arvydas Sabonis with less weight. |

Happy to pick up Leonard, hopefully he will develop but have to figure out where to use him (SF or PF). Hoping to get a D-League prospect that I can develop later on in the draft but we'll see.

I want the Raptors to pick him so bad, I just think he'd fit PERFECT next to Ed Davis in the post. |

I don't know how it's a good thing, it could be a C potential either way I doubt it is but could Yeah, that kind of backfired after I looked at the draft file and noticed it actually was a C, not a B like it was in the notes. I may have wasted that pick, BUT, I do know that I now have "The most interesting prospect"...in the world.... |

yea... yea, you're right. He is also faster than sabas, and attacks the basket a lot more than sabas did. Plus, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a shot outside of 11 ft. However, the back to the basket game is very similar.
Sabas liked to post up and shoot bastard hooks, where it looked like he would flick the ball in the hoop with nothing but the incredible strength of his fingers. Same shot from Jonas. Very nice touch.
I guess I'm getting Larrybirditis: A good white forward?! OMG compare him to Bird! A tall Lithuanian?! Compare to Sabas!!! lol

EDIT: also, I haven't even begun to talk about his D, and his work on the glass, where he really shines. I was juse seeing similarities in he and Sabas' offensive game. |

I was juse seeing similarities in he and Sabas' offensive game. He'd basically be a giant wall in the middle of the key to bounce the ball off of, get it back for the drive, scoop and score. He's so adept getting the ball back out to a guard or out of a double team, that DT's almost don't even affect him. It'll be interesting to see how the pro's affect him. I'm mainly interested in him on the raptors for his defense and rebounding skills. He's got a nice jumper out to about 15 feet too, just like Ed Davis. I think they'd be awesome together in the post, with DeRozan tossing him some passes in a give and go style as DeMar rises up for the score..  thinking about it now... |

liking my picks this year. talked about Faried already, but really liking Jereme Richmond. Hopefully he turns out to become a defensive beast and helps us in the long run

very happy to land Reggie Jackson late. he looks good already and with a stint in the D will make a more than decent back up point.

So pumped for this draft. Two 20 year olds with loads of potential. Morris is a perfect compliment to Kemba!

found this for ya and your Biyambo That's pretty slick. Fits in with the Pacers' color scheme as well. I feel like this is going to be a long season; watching Biyombo block 100 shots, while Valanciunas bangs Turkish models overseas in the Turk league. |
