Mo Pete can play the SF

I like Parker. I think he'll bring a lof experience and talent to the team.

[Kriegz]

Interesting he is Candace Parker's brother.

ERR I'm still mad that the Raps traded Villanueva!! Colangelo still hasn't put no defence on that team!!

I'm curious on the bench now. . We should know by friday I think

He's played in the NBA before. He knows how the NBA works.

He's played in the NBA before. He knows how the NBA works.

That's why I said, Not Really. . .and the game has changed since 1997, drastically, with the rules and the way the game is played. It might favor him and it might not. A lot of people played in the NBA then head back to the CBA and Europe cause their not ready to play in the NBA.

I seen him play against the Raps last year before the season started, he's a good player IN EUROPE and overall, now he has to re-adjust to the NBA's style of play. He might make and impact right away, and he might not!! That's all I'm trying to say. But with getting all theses European players at the same time might have some chemistry advantages within themselves, but they still have to learn to play with the rest of the team, and I think that's gonna be hard for the 1st half of the season!!

Expect a similar start for the raps like last years

[J@3]

I'm hoping you aren't considering a career as an NBA scout.

So, what do you think of this guy?
He might be good, and he might not!!

[ThaLiveKing]

I said he's a good player. . I'm talking about adjusting to the NBA. you need to learn to read

[J@3]

It was a direct quote you fuckwit.

This guy OWNS, shot 100% for one year! Clearly the Raptors have got a sharpshooter . (yes i know terrible sarcasm)

I think he might turn out like a Jasikevicius... like an okay player, but still lost in the NBA style of play.

[cklitsie]

When they win next season? I don't think so

"when" has more translations than just the one you know of.

too bad i am a Spurs fan but wade is my favourite player and then Tim Duncan is my second

Bandwagoners are getting smarter too..

I think he might turn out like a Jasikevicius... like an okay player, but still lost in the NBA style of play.

Different positions, he'll be expected to shoot a lot.

I hope he starts along with Peterson, I think it's too much to rely on Graham and Bargnani as starters, especially with a new point guard.

Parker played in the NBA before and has the athleticism/know how to play effectively in it. I'm pretty confident that he can contribute right away to the Raptors.

[Joe']

because of the 3 exclamation points, i thought Tony Parker went to Toronto...

I don't think Tony Parker is A LOT better than Anthony Parker. Anthony Parker's been the best player in Europe for years.
Anyways, this is great news. Andrea Bargnani and Anthony Parker in the same team.
I think I'm gonna be a fan of the Raptors next season lol
Btw, the starting lineup should be like this:

C-Chris Bosh
PF-Andrea Bargnani
SF-Morris Peterson
SG-Anthony Parker
PG-TJ Ford

[Abctest123]

C-Chris Bosh
PF-Andrea Bargnani
SF-Morris Peterson
SG-Anthony Parker
PG-TJ Ford

I'm fairly sure if Parker is going to be in the starting lineup, Bosh wont be at Centre, with Bargnani coming in as a sub. Rasho will most likely be the starting centre. Basically, this is the lineup im guessing will happen.

C-Rasho Nesterovic
PF-Chris Bosh
SF-Anthony Parker
SG-Morris Peterson
PG-TJ Ford

I put Mo-Pete at sg instead of sf and Anthony Parker vice versa because Peterson's better position seems to be SG and with the credit people are giving Parker, he probably has no problem at SF instead (Also cause I dont know ANYTHING about Anthony Parker other than the fact he hit the game winning shot against the Raptors in last year's preseason for Maccabi Tel Aviv). I'm open to have anyone explain to me that Parker will be more effective at sg instead of being SF.
