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

[saints91]

Didn't see the end (don't get me started) of the Kansas game but T-Rob looked awful. He'd defer when he should've taken it or take really ill advised, awful shots. Bad game for him. Should be awesome watching him and Davis go at it.

In saying that T)Rob looked awful you must have only watched the first 6 minutes of the game. At the beginning he missed 6 easy looks, but he had great positioning. He loosened up after he came in after his "benching". He carried Kansas last night! Great hustle plays, and really can shoot the ball. I'm not sure if he will be able to do the same thing in the NBA, but he looked good last night against college players.

I agree it will be interesting to see how he handles Davis. I hope he takes it up strong and doesn't shy away from him. Davis dominated last nights game on defence! Very impressive!

Anthony Davis' skills make up for his lack of body strength. There's a reason why Robinson is top 5, and Davis is number 1.

Been so much talk about T-R0B lately thought I would give so the Bradley Beal fans some love

[Puffer]

Wonder how much growing Davis still has to do? With his frame, I wouldn't be surprised if he put on 20 pounds over the next few years.

I know there's a few Terrence Ross fans here so you'll be happy to hear he's declared for the draft.

Fab Melo too

I would. He's going to be one of those players that's thin his whole career, like Garnett or Camby. Not necessarily a bad thing, he's got the athleticism to make up for it. You'd definitely want to pair him with a bigger center though.

[ceez]

a couple guys that will probably go late first that i'd keep an eye on are Doron Lamb and Darius Miller of KU. Lamb is mostly a spot shooter but he's a really fantastic shooter. A little undersized for the 2 at 6'4 but i like him a lot and the team has obvious shooting woes that he could really help.

Miller is really underrated. Right now a lot of boards have him at the top of the second round but i suspect he'll be a first rounder in no time. He's been solid and would most likely be starting if it weren't for MKG. Realistically, if he was on any other team he'd be starting. He does everything well. If we did go Beal or Robinson with our pick i'd be pretty pumped to see them try and nab him later on.

I've really enjoyed watching Tyshawn Taylor from Kansas through the tourney. I'm not sure if he's a PG or SG, but he's a leader and shows no fear when taking it to the rim. He might be a good pick up with the later 2nd round pick.

[ceez]

He's intriguing but he'd drive everyone here crazy. Pass.

[Mediumcore]

That's IF he could crack the rotation. Our other 50 something pick, Alabi, has yet to get enough minutes to actually get anyone excited or disappointed. I think Taylor is worth a 50 something pick. The more likely scenario would be the Raptors packaging the two second round picks in a deal, but you never know.

I keep doubting Kansas, but they keep gutting out wins with heart and Robinson and Taylor are their ring leaders. Hopefully it's a competetive game agains Kentucky.

There's other 2nd round prospects i like better.

yeah, tonights going to be a good game.

[CalgaryRapsFan]

Ford's new mock draft on ESPN has the Raptors taking Beal with the #4 pick (Davis, MKG, Robinson are top 3 picks).

[ceez]

Oof

[ceez]

It's amazing what moving up from 5 to 4 does in terms of options

I have watched his for a few years now (Bob Hurley senior was his high school coach) and think he has a decent chance at being a good pro if he gets on with the right team. While he has shot poorly in the tournament he had a good season. A little turnover prone, but brings a Jru Holiday type game to the floor.

[Matt52]

Brown is leaving Texas. I think this is a huge opportunity for Kabongo. I hope he takes advantage of it.

[NoPropsneeded]

Tyshawn Taylor would look good on the Raptors

[stretch]

The biggest improvement Kabongo needs in his game is in his confidence or lack of it this season. Coach Barnes dealings with his point guard took away his swag he had coming into the program out of high school.

[Bouncepass]

I would pass on Tyshawn Taylor. He's a senior, and he still doesn't seem to make good decisions as a PG. He is several notches below Bayless in my books... enough said.
