2012 Draft Thursday, June 28th: Raptors select Terence Ross

[Jclaw]

If BC has one more pick that disagrees I'm gonna be very upset and do nothing about it!

[ceez]

So tonights been something huh?

[saints91]

Ya I like Acy but more for the 52nd pick. He will be a huge energy guy. He is a super dunker.

Terrence ross. Terrence ross ? I cant get around it

Wait and see. You'll see. He's going to be good.

Have seen the Comparison to Eddie Jones, and I like that alot.
Not to mention, Jones was an All-Star, and SOLID scorer for a long time.

[KingMaxwell47]

Furkan Aldemir? Kim English? Both would be nice picks with 56.

Here's BC explaining himself.

I'm mainly concerned about Ross's pencil body.

Ya I trust them on the Ross pick. I didn't like it at the time, but I really wanted Barnes. After he was gone there was no one I really wanted. Trading back would have been a option for this pick though

[MangoKid]

I do like Acy because he's a thug, but the selection doesn't make much sense unless either Ed or Amir is dealt.

[torch19]

I mean it's not the worst pick, I guess. I was just thinking that he would be a pick at 16 or something, you know, had we traded for Lowry!

I want him to be successful, trust me.

That's the nbadraft.net comparison. I don't trust nbadraft.net. ANd jones was more of a SG. ALmost makes Demar redundant.

[Nilanka]

Hollinger calls it a "WTF night for Raptors", lol

[joey_hesketh]

Ross is more of a SG as well.

And I've seen and heard comparison elsewhere as well. Will try and find a link.

[torch19]

I thought the wtf pick belonged to Cleveland, then the Raps picked

Something I mentioned in another thread

Can't fault the raps henchmen for this one. From day one of the exit interviews last year, they were saying "we need a shooter. We need shooters". If there was a drinking game for that word, we would have spent the whole spring hammered. They picked a shooter. I never was good at listening.

[Nilanka]

We apparently picked the wrong Terrence AND the wrong Quincy...

[joey_hesketh]

Ross has great handles, can shoot the ball with the best of them, is 6'6"/6'7" and is a supreme athlete. Not sure what people are upset about ... but ah well.

[CalgaryRapsFan]

Here's BC explaining himself.

Interesting to note that BC thinks Ross is a SG. Wonder what's up for the starting SF job?

We may get Scott Machado at 56 ... but if he's available that may be too predictable
