Raptors Republic Draft Contest

Think you know your draft? Fine. Prove it.

Prize is 2 lower bowl tickets to the first home game of the Raptors 2009/2010 regular season.

We will keep this simple. Reply to this post via a comment below with your answers to the following:

1) Which player will the Raptors select at #9.

That’s it. Now, assuming that we will have more than one person with the correct answer, we have 2 tie breakers:

First: At what draft # will Ty Lawson be selected.

If still a tie:

Second: At what draft # will Wayne Ellington be selected.

If still tied, we will do a random draw. Your reply must contain answers to all 3 questions.

Deadline for replies is 6:30pm eastern on Thursday June 25.

  23. khandor says:

    What happens if the Raptors make no pick in the No. 9 position and, instead, trade down?

    • AltRaps says:

      Then say it, just as Vancouver Raptors did above.

      • khandor says:

        Great. Just trying to trouble-shoot and ensure that all participants know the contest rules. Although there won’t be an entry coming from me, it’s always nice to see everyone treated in a fair way.

        • yertu damkule says:

          is there a ‘rolls eyes’ smiley?

          still..50/50 on whether they keep it or not. if there weren’t so many guys of what is thought to be equivalent talent from 5-20, it would be easier to trade down, but with this much parity (read: general crappiness) in this draft, what’s the incentive for a team to trade up, unless it’s into the top-5-ish, when more than likely they’ll be able to get ‘their’ guy (or a reasonable facsimile) at the spot they’re picking anyway?

        • Khan, if I win I’m will you be my guest? *flutters eyelashes” lol

          • khandor says:

            Sorry, James … but, as I’ve mentioned before, I have other commitments which usually coincide with Raptors regular season games. Besides … “fluttering eyelashes” have never been my preferred style. *smile*

            If you can comp an airfare, though, seems like yertu might happily be your escort for the evening. *smile*

        • AltRaps says:

          well, it’s hardly rocket science (not insulting Vancouver Raptors, of course).

          Plus, we aren’t sticklers here. If a curveball is thrown, we will figure out an answer, especially in our live chat as the picks are done.

          In addition, we have a cool major prize up our sleeves for late summer. That one will be tough and full of rules & regs.

    for shits & giggles (unless this prize comes with a couple plane tix…):

    1) no one…raps are able to trade down to the 18th spot, pick up the wolves 28th in the process…pick clark with the 18th (meh), and young at 28 (if he slips); if he’s gone, brown. they also buy another first rounder & pick chase budinger, just to piss everyone off. jk. maynor with the additional pick? ah, to dream.

    lawson: 17th

    ellington: i think he’ll slip, early 2nd round, 34th overall.

    Yeah I think harden could fall. Ive seen a couple scenarios that don’t seem too outlandish where he falls to us. That is also m dream scenario with our position in this draft though too, so i figured why not go with what sounds best.
