I think the Raptors made the right choice. This guy was a top 4 pick but his contract problems were a factor. But the Raptors aren't going anywhere fast anyhow and there maybe no NBA next year. So the big guy plays another year in Europe, does not count against the salary cap and they grab a Free agent stopgap center in the meantime.
Casey said they were after some vet center. Meaning they can move AB to the four and see if he works with a defensive stopper at the 5.
This year will be all about Casey getting them to play defense --that chore should easily take all season.
