Colangelo press conference summed up! (Very Interesting) + My final mock


So here is basically a summary of what BC said at his last press conference before the draft. I have summed it up for people with low connection, or lazy bums. haha

1. Colangelo has all intentions on doing his best to resign Shawn Marion. He said that the Matrix fits the Raptors system well. He then went on to say that if Marion doesn't want to stay then they will try to utilize him in a sign and trade which makes plenty of sense.

2. He talked about how the Raptors have about 21 Millions dollars to play around with and wants to use it wisely. Chances are we will not be acquiring another pick.

3. Colangelo said one of these players will be in a Raptors uniform next season unless they traded the pick. We are probably also assuming no players slip as well. Flynn, Holiday, DeRozan, Henderson, Johnson, and Andy Rautins. He said that Johnson was moving up on their draft board and impressing a lot of people. Personally my favourite out of the players is James Johnson out of Wake Forest. If the Raptors do draft him I will be quite happy. BC said they brought him back for a secret workout to make sure they were sure about him.

My top 9 mock draft -

Here's what I do believe from rumours around the league this year draft will look like -

1. LAC - Blake Griffin
2. MEM - Thabeet (This happens unless a trade is made)
3. OKC - Harden
4. SAC - Rubio
5. MIN - Curry
6. MIN - Hill
7. GSW - Evans
8. NYN - DeRozan
9. TOR - Johnson

P.S For those gullible to believe that Rautins was one of the players, George Bush is Canadian! haha

Cheers,
Dustin
