I'm not crazy about the idea we have to wait a few years before we get him, but he is raw and I don't think he'll contribute right away. A few years of seasoning will do him a lot of good. |

People said the same thing about JV and was freaking out over that pick, how did that turn out? Would people be happier with drafting the "sexy pick" in austin rivers? For the time being, yes. Overall, no. |

![]() Sorry, but I think Masai was comfortable making this pick because he knows Lowry's not leaving. Don't think he makes this pick if he knows Lowry is leaving. He would have picked a PG.

![]() I think neither GOOD or BAD; it's like we HAVE to have an opinion. I'm fine to let this one sit, and see what happens here. I trust Masai's drafting skills. I was a little dumbfounded because it was an unknown name, but I don't think I (/we) have to have an immediate opinion.

![]() I voted good. For these reasons:
A) I trust Masai above all else in the draft. B) Seems the Spurs or another team would have taken him before 37, so he was on NBA radars, just not the guys who do the mocks. Shows you the value of the mocks... C) He seems like a home run swing - a player who could be terrible or never come over, or could potentially be a game changing player. A chance at a game changer at 20 is nice, even if it is a long shot. |

![]() What baffles me the most is not the fact that he was picked, but that he was picked at 20. The possible reasons to do that:
1. For whatever reason, the Raptors didn't want to add this guaranteed salary in the foreseeable future, and so picked a guy who they know won't come over for a while. 2. They really, really liked him and espionage told them that someone else in the late first was going to pick him. We don't know nearly enough to judge the reasons behind the pick, so the poll is ignorant to begin with. |

![]() at this point, the only thing we know he's a raw prospect who won't be coming here anytime soon. So really, the question is, was that a good or bad decison.
as a tanker, I can only agree with that approach. |

it's very unlikely that any player draft after #20 will be anything more than a decent starter at best. We don't need decent starters, we're choke full of them. We need stars and a 5% chance at a star is better than a 20% chance at a solid starter ... |
