Right now the bulls have the better match up than we do. Playing Washington would be better than any other matchup.
That's a pretty expensive way to basically have a player tryout to see what pieces fit. They've given up a ton of picks. And the worst part is there is no way Deng is sticking around. So they move two 2nd's for Deng and then put him on the trade block after they find out he doesn't mix well with the team..aren't able to move him, so instead they go opposite route and make another trade and move more picks for Hawes. What a clown organization, other than those LeBron years where he carried that franchise, they've been an embarrassment for a long time.
Any chance Melvin Ejim gets drafted this year? His numbers are pretty good although he is a senior. I suppose a big concern would be that his 3 point shooting isn't very good for a wing player.
This is a pretty amazing draft class as far as Canadians go
Really? Love has never had a triple double before?

It's pretty crazy considering he leads the league with 46 double doubles but it's understandable because he's mostly relied on as that go to guy.
Lance Stephenson meanwhile has 4 triple doubles this season and has come close a few other times. He has become that jack of all trades kinda guy for the Pacers which really completes their starting 5.
Good win raps!
lol it wasnt long ago that atlanta was looking like the third best team in the east. That 18 wheeler went right off a cliff.
Can anyone who follows the NCAA comment on some potential draft targets in the 15 - 25 range?
I know this is supposed to be a very good draft, but is it all concentrated at the top-end?
Just thinking out loud..or through my keyboard, but I would love to get Stauskas from the Wolverines in a year or two. A good Canadian kid, has length and can shoot the lights out from anywhere. Not sure where he's projected to go in the draft in a few years but I'd love if the Raps were able to get him. He's going to be a good one. His work ethic is through the roof. After losing in the NCAA final a year ago the day after he was already in the gym getting ready for this season. Spent all summer and fall in the snow outside training and getting his game better.
If he declares this year he's projected to go in that 10-20 range.
Yeah, and there's a real chance we go after a shooting guard, since we really only have De Rozan who can play quality minutes at that position.
Still, every game we lose it's always the same story. Outrebounded and outmuscled. If we can get a guy who could turn into a terror on the boards, i think that really gives us a chance against the big boys.
That's the hope for Jonas.
But we do have a couple of holes, a combo guard to backup Ross/Derozan. It would be nice to draft a pure shooter who can play that specialty role with more quality minutes than Novak. A JJ Reddick type.
Obviously another PG, Lowry/Vasquez is a great 1-2 but who knows if we'll have one or both next season.
And yeah a future PF would be nice. Ideally I think you have Amir and Hansbrough in the rotation and a stud at the 4. Although I like him, I don't imagine Chuck will be back, if we can get another young guy to play those minutes next season that's great.
Quick question: I'm extremely confused with our upcoming draft. How many second round picks do we have?
Lowry numbers since Gay trade:
18.2 pts, 8.1 ast, 4.9 rpg while shooting 43.8% and 40.3% from 3's. That's pretty dang good.
