Meh, I'm one that believes a great bench is a truly only great in the regular season and won't due much for you in the playoffs when most starters are getting 36-40 minutes a game. that's one of the reasons why I don't see Clippers making a finals run this year as I don't think their starting 5 is ready yet as they still prove to be inconsistent at times(a lot more often than they should like), but have reliable backups usually to bail them out, only those backups won't fair very well against great teams in a 7 game series.

Lillard may have already surpassed him as the team's main star. his rookie season is incredible and on Kyrie Irving levels, the only rea difference being how effective he's shooting(which is still pretty good for a rookie, especially from 3 point lad) and the fact that Lillard does a better job of making those around him better with his passing. Although a case can be made that there is only due to the superior quality of teammates that Lillard has to Irving, but that doesn't really matter. Point is that Lillard is fucking amazing as is and will likely grow tremendously in about a year or two. The fact he almost averages 20 ppg as a rookie PPG with almost 7 assists is stellar.

The only problem with this year's draft, correct me if I'm wrong, is that it's very front court heavy for prospects and the Blazers really dnot need more front court depth. There are obviously some star wing players but they'll likely go early, like WIGGINS.

This draft isn't strong, and I wouldn't say it's frontcourt heavy. It's kind of balanced actually, but the two top prospects are bigs (Cody Zeller and Nerlens Noel). There should be some good prospects that aren't bigs around the 10-14 spots in the draft like C.J. McCollum, Anthony Bennett, Trey Burke and and Glenn Robinson III.

Wiggins isn't in college, man. He's in his senior year of high school. Right now Shabazz and Alex Poythress are the two best wing prospects.

**Magic** · 12-28-2012, 01:54 PM

you forgot about SHABAZZ, who is still quite a good prospect I hear.

Wiggins reclassified bro. He's coming this year. In this draft. like a CHAMPION. unless I completely have the wrong idea of what reclassification is.

**Notorious** · 12-28-2012, 01:56 PM

lol, I said in my previous post that Shabazz and Alex Poythress were the two best wing prospects.

Wiggins was supposed to be a junior in high school and graduating in 2014, but he reclassified and is now a senior in high school and will be graduating in 2013. He's coming to college next season, but hasn't decided on what school yet.

**Magic** · 12-28-2012, 01:57 PM

I say Wiggins and got completely distracted. WIGGINS.

and oh, that's cool too I guess. at least that means Raptors have another season to tank for him.

**Notorious** · 12-28-2012, 02:05 PM

This is the Raptors chance. They should let OKC get their pick this year in a weaker draft since is expected to be a strong draft with guys like Wiggins, the Harrison Twins, Julius Randle, Jabari Parker, etc.

This is the Raptors chance to get a guy who could legit be a star, and that wouldn't mind playing in Canada. And if they get lucky Stern will rig it for them.

**Magic** · 12-28-2012, 02:19 PM

Stern better rig it for them. enough of these euro bums that the Raptors are forced to sign/draft. THEY NEED A STAR, A TRUE STAR. although Val could be that star too in a couple years, but they need a once in a generation star.

also Wiggins has good timing, Kobe will retire and he will be the new player to receive all my praise and blind faith.

Please, the Raptors haven't had a successful tank job since 2006, and that was because the talent on that team was absolutely dreadful, barring Bosh, even more-so than this year. Plus, the team is apparently built for "Win-now", so don't get your hopes up.

Colangelo would find a way to fuck it up as usual.

The Raptors need to get rid of that moron. Him and Bargnani need to both be gone.

**Magic** · 12-28-2012, 02:40 PM

should hire JERRY instead.
