Roy Hibbert drafted, Toronto’s average height doubles overnight.

Posted by: Clare Malone in Sports, Vox Populi, tags: , ,

We were all worried there for a minute, but as it turns out, Roy Hibbert’s going to be all right. The big man was picked up by the Toronto Raptors as the 17th pick of the draft, despite a bitchy scout report that Hibbert would “need a parachute on draft day.” According to media, Roy will ultimately end up playing in an Indiana Pacers uniform. This will require some trades, in a process not unlike when a younger you needed a Wartortle card but only had a bent Clefairy.

Patrick Ewing Jr. also scored big, going to the Sacramento Kings as the 43rd pick.

Congratulations, boys. 6 weeks out of college and you already have jobs.

    Fixed. Sorry, Roy. I admit, I wasn’t that impressed with 17th round either.
