Ok thats why I can't walk a block downtown without seeing a brazilian flag or soccer jersey this time of year. Trust me Tornoto has a lot of brazilians. I understand enough Portuguese to pick them out even inf they're not draped in green and yellow.
That said, there's a little of everything in toronto. It being an international/multicultural city is a fact not a talking point.
Yeah, judge a player before he's played a minute in the NBA.
rafael araujo was the brazillan tim duncan just saying
it was a horrible horrible pick, its like the raptors just had tyler ennis on their board he was picked and they said f it, could have easily picked napier and traded him to miami.
masai blew it

you mean like the concept of the "draft" 
25,000 Brazilians for your entire country, that's really not a lot.

Just keep my rep red
2 teams ever scouted him...None of these players have played in the NBA lol...Dont mean you draft off the board stupidly...
He has a greater wingspan than Anthony Davis and is a small forward. Just let him grow as a player. He has the tools; he now needs to continue improving. It'll take time, but relax.
If were gonna draft international players at least stick to slavics,this org always tries to be geniuses in brasil and italy and cayman islands...if this were a soccer draft go head draft brasilians..NBA i want eastern euros or NCAA kids no more experiments...
Breh hes 4-5 years away IF IF he ever even comes up here,how does that make sense ?
We need a young piece to play with pieces were grooming right now NOT a project that more than likely will never play ball here and by the time its even considered MAsai will be long gone from this team...
I dont give a shyt about a wing span,theres a reason only 2 teams looked at him...This team needs young pieces that can play now not in 5 years...
The indian and chinese folks with brasilian flags on there cars are not actually brasilian...

IF, like you said ... IF the Raps are drafting international players, Araujo should have showed them be wary of Brazilians with "high ceilings" who supposedly compare to MVP-caliber guys
I just want to see them draft a college star. The casual basketball fan hasn't heard of anyone Toronto has drafted since Charlie Villanueva (excluding Barngani, and everyone only knew him because of the draft hype, not going on actually watching him).
I was kinda excited about Quincy Acy after showing off some powerful dunks in the elite eight with Baylor, but not like I would have been about Napier or Ennis.
