Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

There's no chance Ennis goes later than #20 unless we trade down for some reason, because if he's available at 20 it's pretty obvious Masai plans to pick him.
As for Utah and the #5 - they're going to try to trade up for Jabari Parker. They may not succeed, but damn sure they're going to try and use Kanter and maybe Alec Burks as a package to trade up.

I too agree Payton will have the better career but if Ennis becomes a all-star and Masai passes on him. With this fan base it could cost with his job.

Ennis vs. Payton is really, really tough.
I think I go Ennis, my opinion is he's actually underrated right now."Bruno?

Masai views the odds of getting a successful 2nd round pick greater than that of winning on "R-r-r-r-oll up the Rim to Win" (1 in 6 for Tim's):
The Raptors previously placed little value on second-round selections, since the success rate on these is so low (Ujiri said if you hit on 20% of them, you are doing okay; 40%, well-above average), but Ujiri stated when he arrived that acquiring and developing young talent will be one of his keys.
“It takes them some time (he said of most second-rounders), it takes them a longer route and then you can get lucky. Sometimes it’s luck, a lot of the times, maybe we can get lucky, too.”
Meanwhile, the seconds could be used to either draft someone or in a package to move up, or to acquire a player.
“They are valuable, depending on roster spots, trades, who is available, to move up, they are very valuable to us and I think this year we are taking them very serious,” Ujiri said.
“We’re going to look at all options.”
Regardless of where the picks are made, the team will not draft for need, instead opting for the best player available. The front office believes it will nab a good talent, even if it stays at 20.
This year's draft night should be more fun than recent memory with 3 picks, expiring deals, and Bell/Rogers hopefully opening the vault.
