How come Raptors only draft international players??? WTF

[Uncle_Ruckus]

That isn't case, US players dont have a problem with the city. The two main problems playing in Toronto is going through the borders and not having American TV.

And the snow.

TV?

There's snow in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, etc...and sometimes worse than what we get.

Yea and still Americans act like it's worse in Canada. They think soon as you cross the border there's igloos and eskimos riding dog sleds.

Tell me how we are gonna move forward with this core? Demar as our star? thats laughable.

Tell me this league isn't star driven? The only title the last 20 years that wasn't won a star player was the Pistons.

Why do you think we drafted Bruno?

 

[godkiller]

Is there someone that can explain this BS? Are Americans only allowed to be drafted to American teams? Is this shyt rigged so that we always get 2nd-3rd round picks in the 1st round? I'm not an expert, but this shyt seems too obvious that something else is going on behind the scenes. Help me understand this shyt brehs.

International players are more likely to stay in Toronto once they blow up. Americans players dislike Toronto as a place to reside.

25,000 Brazilians for your entire country, that's really not a lot.

This dude @DoubleClutch thinks everybody who wears Brazilian shirt is actually Brazilian



Brazil is the bandwagoner's favorite shirt.

 

[godkiller]

his highlight film lol

he does have length and looks to be a good shot blocker

When did you get unbanned?

That's at least two cac trolls unbanned now.

As long as I get one Brazilian war cry, I'll be happy.

The East is getting better all around you, and you drafted a guy that won't be ready for years.

Masai is a good GM, but you're acting like my dude has built title teams.

And u act like Morey isn't that dude../..

And u act like Morey isn't that dude../..

Where are all the title teams built by the genius


Show me one, I'll wait

TV?

You'd be surprised how much these US cats complain about hockey being on and not having any college football, basketball and american tv in general. but the border shyt takes the cake.

Why do you think we drafted Bruno?

Masai correct if I'm wrong worked with Basketball without Borders, so he's just trying do them a favour of some sort. If he was really a big deal, I doubt only 3 teams knew about him. Giannis at least half the league were aware of him.

Here is the list of #19 picks since 2000:

2013 Sergey Karasev

2009 Jeff Teague
2008 J.J. Hickson
2007 Javaris Crittenton

2005 Hakim Warrick
2004 Dorell Wright
2003 Aleksandar Pavlovic
2002 Ryan Humphrey
2001 Jason Collins

Not much expected value. A 19 overall pick probably ain't gonna do shyt so why worry about it.

All those guys PLAYED and were at the very least rotation players....I will bet one months salary this brasilian kid never plays a single game in the NBA....and IF he does it wont be for several years...Not what this team needed right now...
