The Raptors and the 2014 Draft

[white men can't jump]

Remove Wayne Selden from 2014 mock drafts:

Not surprised. He had a pretty "meh" year, and at one point was talked about as a top 10 pick. Needs more seasoning, and probably thinks he can raise his stock back to being a top 10 pick.

Don't forget Weltman!

....and Dan Tolzman...

Dan Tolzman

Former Team: Denver Nuggets

Role: Scouting Co-ordinator

New Position: Director of Scouting

- Scouting Co-ordinator in Denver since 2011

- Joined Nuggets organization as media relations intern, advanced to media relations manager

- Work will range from college and pro scouting, to data management

- Credited with a role in finding Ty Lawson and Kenneth Faried

After receiving offers from several teams, Tolzman’s decision to reunite with Ujiri speaks volumes to the kind of work relationships the new Raptors GM had with his staff back in Denver. With the Raptors’ underwhelming scouting history, and the nightmare of Jim Kelly still swimming through the minds of some Raptors fans, a young and fresh opinion that Ujiri trusts will go a long way in helping rebuild this organization. Plus, he’s apparently not too bad at a game of H-O-R-S-E.

Wow! I did not know that. I have a lot of faith in Masai finding a good rotation player in the second round. He is really good at finding talent deep in the draft.

Well you were quick to defend Wiggins lack of offensive performance at times due to Kansas' system. Selden was even significantly further back in the pecking order, he was basically out there standing around feeding the post and shooting the three.
I like him quite a lot tbh.

Has anyone stumbled upon Chris walker. Dudes a beast, he beat Jabari Parker and wiggins in the high school dunk contest. We should pick him up with one of our second round picks as no one else is even high on him

Woj obviously hasn't sent him the text: "You're declaring cause Stone WOJ said so"

Outside of his freak athleticism he also has some ball handling skills and a decent release on his shot. Second round pick absolutely for me...see how things play out on draft night but he can be the Manimal of this draft quite easily...or at least a PJ3
