But I do agree with Ashton on the Raptors perhaps having to much of a Euro focus. Will Solomon is not a Euro but from Euro League. Andrea has not worked out as they would have liked. Hoffa is from South America and in fairness was a Babcock pick. But you are always free to remind folks about him. Sixers Iggy could have been a Raptor as well. <BRAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949252276261906672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-32722903839599741572008-12-19T11:40:00.000-05:002008-12-19T11:40:00.000-05:00Does anyone ever sit back and think, "wow if the R...Does anyone ever sit back and think, "wow if the Raptors weren't so in love with Europeans then we could have had one of a number of amazing players, say like BRANDON ROY of RAJON RONDO. But no we are stuck with a useless, 7ft Italian. I think the root of the problem is that the Raptors are known for making horrible, and I mean horrible draft picks. May I remind everyone of Araujo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-8541425505187732632008-12-19T00:07:00.000-05:002008-12-19T00:07:00.000-05:00the sick part, is that the type of player they nee...the sick part, is that the type of player they need right now to complete the starting lineup, is vince carter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-76759972647375569172008-12-18T18:17:00.000-05:002008-12-18T18:17:00.000-05:00Lets not kid ourselves ...most of us knew outside ...Lets not kid ourselves ...most of us knew outside of rebounding the bench could never sustain consistency in a playoff situation.The bench to me especially with Roko is a developmental situation. Hassan has been here and there,Solomon well... europe, Jawai(australia)injured.So my observation is, even if the starting unit is good later down the road lack of experience catches up via Raps bench.<BRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450745303548734819.post-42789995236857259972008-12-18T16:30:00.000-05:002008-12-18T16:30:00.000-05:00I agree with you.
