The Raptors and the 2014 Draft

[The Great One]

Question, if Saric is there at 20, would you draft him if you're MU?

No

You would hope that they look. Lots of good, but serious flaws, and weird father/manager thing (if I remember correctly).

Does anyone have any newer footage? This is a year old.

Definitely have to consider it. Forwards with point skills really intrigue me because of potential matchup problems for opponents. They can make really good weapons especially off the bench because of their size and unique skills...going back at least to Toni Kukoc.

From a skills point of view I'd be really excited to get him at 20..but his " character" questions are a bit off putting to me

Does he have actual "character" questions or is it just crap from having a crazy father and possibly wanting to stay in Europe a bit longer?

*Just looked at the questions in the weakness part of the old scouting video....I don't know. Some of that could just be natural immaturity. Hard to know if he has/will grow out of it.

I think you almost have to draft Saric if he's there at 20. I doubt he will be though.

Think it's mostly the crazy father, and that is what scares me. Seems rather common among the Serbian and Croatian kids...their parents seem to often have far too much involvement and control in management, coaching etc and it can lead to some really crazy shit. I'm scarred by the fact that Two highly talented Aussie tennis players..Jelena Dokic and Bernard Tomic have had their careers derailed by absolutely psycho parent managers, and hearing these red flags frighten me :P like he could be drafted and the father is like...son ..nope ...let's stay in Europe.

New DX Saric scouting vid from when he lead his underdog team to the title over the last week.

Stuff daddy, if he's around at twenty you have to take him. Too talented.

He's got quite a tool of skillset, the concern is what position does he play, is he a 4 in smallball? Not a natural 3 but if we put him at 3 in starting lineup, he's gonna have a hard time defending that position.

Vast improvement over the year before.

Don't know why "6'10" with a 6'10" Wingspan" jumps out at me so much ... suppose we're spoiled in North America with long arms?

[octothorp]

Heh, I had the same reaction. I want freaking condors for our draft picks. Clint Capela all-the-way!

[imanshumpert]

Saric and DeRozan on the wings could be a very good combination
