    • Everything I've been reading lately has been saying Selby is an absolute beast and no one can stay in front of him. They've put the better defenders on him to no avail. I have a feeling he's going to be 1st rookie team.

      Leonard intrigues me as well.

      • DeMar DeRozan's Opinion

        Dime: Heading into the NBA Draft, what players excite you? Who do you think would fit in with your current Raptors squad?
        DD: It’s tough to say, but I like Kemba Walker’s game. I played against him in high school. Just the way he plays, I think he’ll make a major impact in the League using screen and rolls and being able to shoot and break down guards and everything. I like Kyrie Irving too, he’ll definitely be big. But I think there are just a handful of guys though.

        • I like Chris Singleton and have liked everything I've read on him: elite defender, insatiable work ethic and is becoming a legit deep-shooting threat. I'm definitely not opposed to the Raps making a play for an additional lower pick that could snag him. Regardless of whether or not they draft Williams. In fact, having a Williams/Singleton rotation at the 3 is pretty close to ideal.

          • I wonder if this means that DD isn't satisfied with JB as are starting point guard?

            • I think that's a stretch based on the quote above.

                • Could TT play the 5 for us? I'd like to draft him, but he seems to be just a slightly more energetic Ed Davis. It would be nice if he filled a need for Toronto and becomes the first Toronto raised player drafted by Toronto.
                  -"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."

                    I think he'll be solid too but for where the Raps will be drafting I think they could get a better player. I'm not sure if he's even top ten.

                        • Having incredible workouts. A big question with him was his shooting and apparently he's been shooting the lights out.

                          • people are relating him to shawn marion and gerald wallace, is that a fair comparison?

                            • Sounds about right. He'd be a perfect fit in a up-tempo offense for sure.

                                Here is a little more information:

                                When every team in the top ten wants you in their building, you're doing something right.

                                That's the case with Kawhi Leonard, who is climbing draft boards and solidifying himself as the best small forward in this class. Every top team – from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Toronto Raptors to the Washington Wizards – has expressed significant interest in Leonard.

                                I watched a couple of SDSU games this year. Watching the game with him on the court was difficult - my eyes kept being drawn to the blotches moving around the screen, those blotches were his hands. He has massive hands, think Seinfeld 'ManHands'.
