OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[MindzEye]

Edey's just so damn big he can get away with it a bit more. 7'4" without shoes. 7'11" wingspan.

I was thinking about that a bit while watching that little P/R highlight pack, that I'm surprised his college coach didn't just have him hedge on screens instead of playing drop. He's so wide that just being able to shuffle your feet once or twice on a hedge makes the ball handler have to cover 10-12 feet laterally in a fucking hurry to get downhill. Giving more than enough time for the original on ball guy to recover and Edey's arm coverage makes dumping over the top to the roll man a bit of a whore.

He's an interesting experiment, no doubt. One thing interesting about Boban fwiw is that advanced stats fucking loved him his first few years after coming over from Europe. He had stamina issues that kept him from playing for longer than a 4-5 minutes at a time though. But when he was fresh off of the bench he was a fucking menace.

like Edey is way longer than Yao Ming. and iirc Yao was an good defender i think. i don't remember his footspeed looking any better.

 

[Wayward DP]

Wait anti-trad C zeke is now pro-Edey? Do I have this right?

the draft is so shit that Edey at least represents some degree of different, interesting and a high upside at some things.

Im not against it, but i think it means you deal Puddle, right?

I'm highly skeptical of our being able to draft any legit starters in this draft. Edey has a chance to maybe be underrated here.

Brutal. I love it.

Fwiw, Scootie only gets 270 if he makes All NBA this year. It's 225 if he doesn't.

Difference between rookie max and supermax.

For anyone interested Mindz and I are going to a draft party at the Vaughn Kelseys, come share a laugh and a spinnach dip.

 

[MindzEye]

A couple of things:

1) No
2) Also No
3) Lol No.
4) Spinach dip is a fucking lie. The spinach doesn't make the bad bits healthy and the bad bits doesn't make spinach taste good. Either eat a salad or don't eat a salad.

 

[Wayward DP]

good spinach tastes good ya weirdo

I eat a fair bit of baby spinach, and no.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

He'll let you call him Baby Spinach in the sack tonight if you go.

 

[Wayward DP]

complementary rimjobs may be available too, I have heard

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

just spin dips, laughs and good clean fun, you weirdos will scare him off.

 

[MindzEye]

Spinach dip is C or D tier.

Guac and all other avocado based dips, queso in it's many forms, other regular cheese dips in it's many forms, french onion, salsa verde or rojo in it's many many forms, Toum, hummus, bean, tapenade, smoked salmon dip, and baked brie all smash spinach dip.
