    • Coach Kuester speaking about Daye's Sophmore year and how he can improve for his third year. Too bad he was fired and replaced that summer. Could we of seen more from Daye? This league is all about oppurtunity. AA proved that this year.

        • Highlights of this past season. All im saying is that Ross, Fields and Novak better come prepared for training camp. Out of all of Massai's low risk high reward signing his the one im more excited about.

            • I was going to start a new thread about Masai drafting strategy, but maybe it's not worth it so I will just mention my thoughts here.

              There seems to be a pretty consistent theme in what he has done so far (I mean aside from finding low cost players). I suggest that almost everyone he has picked up so far (maybe outside of Hansbrough) has had a particular reason for not performing better. It's almost like he has instructed his scouting staff "go find role players who have reasons for not performing better in their roles. Coaches whose systems don't suit the player, players in situations where they aren't going to get noticed, players who had injury issues that held them back or players that have a flaw in their games that no one has bothered to fix."

              It's been mentioned many times that these guys are low risk, but all of them also have the potential to do quite well in certain circumstances. And any of them might become worthwhile trade chips down the road. I can see some of these guys going in situational trades to teams who have suffered injuries and need a role specialist at the 12th spot on the bench come trade deadline, as the playoffs start looming.

              Might be my imagination, but Masai would seem to be operating on multiple levels.

                  Good observation and dont disagree but imo what is also important.....and we wont know until the season begins....is how these acquisitions will complement the crew already here and the system/s to be employed going forward.

                    I have no problem being considered on the Masai bandwagon. But I'm also critical enough to take a dump on the driver of said bandwagon should he get us stuck in the mud. Thus far I have weighed every transaction the man has made since his arrival and concluded he hasn't made one false move. If that puts me on his bandwagon so be it.
                    You kind of said you would jump off the bandwagon if he made one false move..which is a tad ridiculous. Just tryng to understand where you're coming from..

                    • At this point in time Daye is a better player than Ross.

                            Daye has more game-winners than DeRozan

                              So far as I can tell, nothing.

                              TS%, 3PT%, FT%, PER, WS/48, TRB%, ORTG, DRTG, DxRAPM, OxRAPM, AST%... Daye is better in all these categories.

                              Ross is younger.

                                Are you seriously asking me that question?

                                Daye's a 4 year NBA veteran. Raptors will be his 3rd team in 5 years. There's a reason for that.

                                Last year he averaged 5ppg on a HORRIBLE Pistons team. A team that needs wing players. 2 2nd round rookies(English and Middleton) got more playing time for the Pistons at the 2-3 guard position last year. What does that tell you about Daye?

                                I understand that people here are down with Ross. Played horrible in Summer League. Not gonna deny that. But like i always say, it's a fucking Summer League game. You people need to relax about Ross.
