He's 4 years away from being able to play BASKETBALL??
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

 

[Pimpwerx]

Shab being the true pg for okc would be awesome

They stole Reggie Jackson from us. Why not shabazz too? PEACE.

 

[Bowser]

Two years away from being two years away?

Sounds like the Raptors just drafted the Brazilian Bismack Biyombo

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Ninja Scooter I apologize lol.

 

[Kevtones]

Masai-uh!

 

[Furyous]

LOLRAPTORSLOL

If he doesn't come over until four years later does that mean they pay him on the second round pick wage scale?

 

[UnObtainium17]

Which pixel is Bruno in there?? I guess the guy who made the shots

 

[charsace]

Lavine is seriously terrible. He shot 38% in Pac12 play last year and worse against the top crop. Dude will bomb hard.

Dude shows that this draft is overrated. The guy played like complete shit and gets drafted this high.

forgot this was even on tonight, been really busy.

is julius randle any good?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Jalen lol

 

[Fjordson]

So I didn't watch much Wiggins.

Should I be excited?

Probably, yeah.

He completely vanished at times last year, just weirdly passive for long stretches. He can also be really robotic with his handle on the perimeter which can get him picked off by tough defenders.

But when he was good he looked pretty damn good. Unreal athlete, underrated shooter, lots of defensive potential.

Between the lol Bulls trade and this Raptors pick, this has been a good draft.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I know little of college basketball, so if this Napier guy is so good that lebron wants him and half this thread wants someone to block Miami from getting him, why did he last so long?

 

[unknownstranger]

Lol that pick broke realgm.

 

[Cloudy]

Exum just went in the top 5.

At least I could tell it was him in those videos lol

 

[zroid]

RIP

I'm going to watch baseball or something

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Maybe a Toronto scout needed an excuse to go to the world cup and his bullshit story went to far?

 

[Doc Holliday]

Raptors should have grabbed Anderson with that pick. Derozan would be getting open looks all day.

What were they thinking?

Because he's not that good. Miami is chasing fools gold if they think this will keep Lebron around.

People just want to keep a competent PG away from Miami. Any of them really. Napier might be one.

NBA teams shy away from anyone who stayed long in college

 

[Bowser]

Cause he's undersized and that scares GMs.

 

[arts&crafts]

Raptors are seriously so fucked up holy fuck FUCK i had this exact same tear covered expression when we drafted Arujo !

 

[Siegcram]

I know little of college basketball, so if this Napier guy is so good that lebron wants him and half this thread wants someone to block Miami from getting him, why did he last so long?

Because when you have the chance to draft someone named Bruno who, judging from his footage is a time traveling Kevin Durant without basketball skills, you have to do it.

 

[zychi]

I know little of college basketball, so if this Napier guy is so good that lebron wants him and half this thread wants someone to block Miami from getting him, why did he last so long?

Because what lebron wants is never right. Wade showed him what he really wanted

Nba draft is usually misses. This is just proving how shitty the league is talent wise besides 3 or 4 teams when teams are reaching for players that wont play for 5 years from now.

 

[RS4-]

Bring back Araujo

2 years away from being 2 years away. Sounds like the Raptors chance of making it out of the East.

He's small and not a great shooter, but has balls as big as a Volkswagen.

He's not that good. A very nice college player, but he's not going to change Miami (or any other team) in any significant way.

So instead you draft a brazilian pixel who may be servicable in 4 years? Makes sense.

 

[Bowser]

So the Thunder were the ones who promised McGary huh?

 

[Pimpwerx]

If that Raps pick turns into an NBA player on 2 years, I don't think it's a bad pick. Outside of the lottery, I'm fine with swinging for the fences. Especially if you're looking for players that can transforma franchise. Maybe Masai trusts his scouts. PEACE.

 

[Cloudy]

Nice pick for OKC

 

[Cheddahz]

McGary wish he was drafted by Denver, so y'know....

 

[charsace]

Probably, yeah.

He completely vanished at times last year, just weirdly passive for long stretches. He can also be really robotic with his handle on the perimeter which can get him picked off by tough defenders.

But when he was good he looked pretty damn good. Unreal athlete, underrated shooter, lots of defensive potential.

Wiggins best move off the dribble is his one dribble pull up. That should tell people that his handle is bad. You can also tell that he thinks a lot instead of feeling and reacting. The guy is a super athlete, but he needs to extend his shooting range and improve his handle enough to be a force. He'll be facing bigger, faster, and craftier defenders in the NBA so I can see his ability to draw fouls going down with the bad handle he has.

 

[HiResDes]

Real talk the Thunder should think about getting a true point guard as well.

 

[soundahfekz]

Dude are dumb passing on shabazz

The Thunder drafted an old white man!

Local dealers must be stoked right now. Stuck in OKC.
