  • Media Day/Training Camp Thread

    Wow, this summer has passed by pretty quickly, huh? After this weekend, it's back to business as usual!

    Check out the training camp roster here: http://blog.raptors.com/press-releas...g-camp-roster/


    Interesting tidbit here: Valanciunas is shown as 7ft 257lbs (Draft measurements were 6'11" 231lbs)

    There's going to be many articles, pictures, interviews, videos from media day and training camp, so post them here and discuss!

    I'd like to believe the 257 but it's a bit too good to be true. More than Magloire?! Maybe they're tacking on the weight of the Republic's expectations. That said, for all you conspiracy people out there, I tried to see what nba.com has him listed as.....but he doesn't exist!! Acy's there. Ross is there. Maybe it was a buyout thing. I guess we can't change the name of this thread just yet

      The only guys that have different height/weight on the Raps website as opposed to the official NBA website are the rookies

      Acy:

      Official NBA website: 6'7" 225
      Raptors Training Camp: 6'7" 233

      Ross:

      Official: 6'6" 195
      Raptors: 6'7" 197

      None of the players have weight/height updated since rookie years I believe...

      DeRozan:

      Official: 6'7" 216
      Raptors: 6'7" 217

      But from what we've been hearing from the Raps FO, he's grown... and not only by one pound.

        Imagine if he was 240.. he would be a beast!

              Hey just looking at the kid he's definitely filled out.

              He was rail thin when drafted he looks stronger now for sure!

                      Why do I feel like DeRozan is saying, "Sorry Ms. Jackson. Never meant to make yo daughter cry. I apologized a million times."

                      Also, DD does look bigger. Nice to see.

                        Demar does have a bit of Andre 3000 going on, I agree. Haha

                        What I find especially interesting though is that in your Avatar, Matt, Fields is rocking a #9 jersey. In the photo above, he's rocking #2 ...

                          My understanding is that the press conference photo was prior to the James Johnson trade, which opened up the #2 jersey for Fields.

                              Jonas does look like he's bulked up (he takes the shirt off towards the end)
