Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
He should be able to make the Raptor's final roster. From what I saw of him this year, he's a poor man's Stromile Swift who takes way too many jumpshots.

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
I wouldn't be so sure.
He's got hops and his length allows him to block alot of shots, but he hasn't got much else going for him.

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
another big man? I liked Haislip when he was drafted out of Tennesee, he seemed to ooze potential. But he needs to adjust, and start having a better work ethic. If he makes the team, then don't resign Sow. But I don't want that to happen. NBDL anyone?

would be nice to have him come off the bench and get a few blocks even though we are stacked at that position. maybe he is what we need a huge shot blocker may compliment our new detroit style defence...

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
I remember the Raptors were interested in him last season when he was with the Pacers. He really impressed me last year, and I wouldn't be surprised if he makes our roster.

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
he seems to have the latteral quicks to play the 3, at least defend it. if we can fit him on the roster, he'd be another young talent to develop.

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
Might aswell bring him along, from a very casual college fans perspective it seems like we just got the Hakim Warrick a few of us wanted.

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
if we give him a two year deal (like loren's), we have until our cash/roster window and bosh's extension to find a way to use him or move him for pieces we can use. we won't sign him if sam and babs don't think it will build value.

Re: Raptors invite Marcus Haislip to summer league.
CRAZY. i been all over the boards talkin about haislip, been 1 of my favourites since tenessee. He is on denvers summer league team too from what ive known. I would hope he makes the raptors, just funny he ends up here cuz.
Alot of people hated cuz of his poor fg% for the pacers last year but i thought he played very well, especially in a game against toronto. He can jump out this gym and bench press crazy i heard. just needs to learn the game more n i believe.
