The Reebok Eurocamp is a three day event which takes place each June in Treviso, Italy. One of the organizers of the camp is Michele Gherardini, son of Maurizio Gherardini. This year’s roster is supposed to be the best in five years and includes the following players. Brandon Jennings, who is still playing his season…
Here are the players that have worked out for the Raptors so far: Tyrese Rice, Senior G, 6′ 1″ 190lbs, Boston College: Interview :: DX Jeff Pendergraph, Senior F, 6′ 9″ 240lbs, Arizona State: Interview :: DX Byron Eaton, Senior PG, 5′ 11″ 210lbs, Oklahoma State: DX Terrence Williams, Senior F, 6′ 6″ 215lbs, Louisville:…
Colangelo might be right. Triano may be the best coach out there for this team. As Colangelo and his staff went through the options of who might be the head coach next season, they apparently all came to the same conclusion: there was really no better option. “It always kept coming back to Jay Triano”,…
Three year deal – but with an option! Either Colangelo’s honestly bought into whatever Triano’s trying to do or he’s financially constricted and forced into making this move. I find it odd that the great Colangelo has put his money on a coach that he didn’t even come close to considering two years ago when…
Watching these playoffs you come to realize just how important it is to have a mean streak about your team. People either overrate or underrate this intangible but one thing is for sure: you can’t deny its not important. Skill will always be weighted more heavily but as we look at the Rockets and Artest/Scola,…
People who play songs on their crappy mobile phone speakers when riding public transportation need to be kicked right in the jaw. It’s one thing to carry around a boom box if you live on a block that throws block parties, entirely another when you’re bothering a 70 year old on the TTC with your…
Russell Hicks = KrisHumphries-0.9-beta.zip News is thin these days. Once our lottery position is known on May 19th things should pick up as the Raptors and the ever vague Jim Kelly will begin working people out. We have an 81% chance of selecting 9th and a 1.7%, 2.0%, and 2.4% chance of getting the 1st,…
Think back 14 years ago to the re-introduction of basketball in Canada. Despite its northern roots, most Canadians had only a rudimentary understanding of the game. Then along came Leo Rautins. That’s how this article starts off. I remember watching Leo do his Basketball U segments where he “educated” us on things like traveling, double-dribbling…
Good to be back in Toronto. Word of advice to vacation goers: Sandals is overrated, avoid it like the swine flu. There’s not much going on in RapsWorld other than speculation over who we might draft or whether Giorgos Printezis is finally ready to see the light of day in the NBA. The void left…
Our very own RapsFan represented the Republic in an interview with HoopsDaily. Slide on over and check it out once you are done answering his 3pt shot below.
1) If you’re Colangelo, and both these guy are available. do you draft DeMar Rozan or Stephen Curry? 2) If we know Bosh wont resign, and Detroit comes knocking in the summer with an offer of Prince/Afflalo/Johnson, do we bite? 3) Is Giorgos Printezis a keeper, a poor mans Jorge Garbajosa, or is BC just…
Spew: 1) If you were able to keep only two of Bosh, Bargnani and Calderon, who would you let go, irrespective of salary. 2) Colangelo trips and falls headfirst on to his pen and is rendered mentally unstable to carry on his duties. Who do you bring in? 3) give us your all-time Raptor starting…
