After not having a first round selection in his first season as GM, Masai Ujiri has an opportunity to make a mark in his second year with his team holding the no. 20 selection in the NBA Draft. Ujiri joined TSN 1050 to discuss the Raptors draft strategy and whether the team is leaning towards taking a hometown player. He mentioned player position will be a consideration, saying a big three would be appealing but at the end of the day one factor will take precedence. Were going after the best talent available, thats for sure, Ujiri said, while also commenting that he team is anticipating picking at their 20th spot at this point, but will also stay aggressive if there are opportunities to improve the club. Admitting that Tyler Ennis who reportedly may fall into the range of where the Raptors are picking is someone he has his eye on, Ujiri said that Ennis being a Toronto native is something the Raptors view as a positive. But if hes not the best talent available at that point, then its a different story, Ujiri said. Hes a very talented player and hes right there on our board, but who knows what will happen tomorrow. Besides the draft, Ujiri also weighed in on where the team stands in its negotiations with free agent point guard Kyle Lowry. Were going to attack it and go after getting something done
Hopefully we can be very fair to Kyle and get him back to leading the Toronto Raptors another season. Ujiri: Draft strategy, Ennis a possibility? Nike Roshe Run Femme Pas Cher .

OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Senators are going to learn to live without Daniel Alfredsson for at least the next little while. The Senators captain suffered a concussion after taking a check to the head from New York Rangers forward Wojtek Wolski last Saturday. Wolski was penalized on the play, but was not suspended. Alfredsson spoke about the hit and how hes feeling for the first time Thursday. "Its the first time Ive had a concussion and it feels different," Alfredsson said. "I havent really had any headaches, which is good, but I still have symptoms and I havent done any exercise since Saturday." The 38-year-old is hopeful he can return soon, but was reluctant to make any predictions. "I dont think you can (put a timeline on a return)," Alfredsson said. "At home with the kids if I do too much I get lightheaded, a little dizzy and I need to sit down for a bit and then I feel OK again. Until thats gone Im not going to do anything physically." The Senators were disappointed that Wolski escaped punishment and the explanation from NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan did little to help. Alfredsson said he spoke to Shanahan about the incident by telephone. "He explained their position and the process they went through with not going anywhere further with this and I said I understood," Alfredsson said. "I dont totally agree, but I think no matter what they do theyre going to get (grief). "I thought he maybe could have avoided the whole situation and they think its accidental. But I have no problem with their decision." Alfredsson said understands Shanahans position and added players have to also be held accountable. "Its a fine line where my belief is that the players out there have to responsible for yourself and your own situation. I could have avoided it if Im more aware and I think its always the responsibility of the player," he said. "If we get to the point where players know that if Im in this position no ones going to be able to touch me then youll exploit that and use that, so you have to be aware at all times. "If its deliberate hits to the head, theyve shown tthat they will take action and theyre not going to get everything right but I think theyre on the right path.dddddddddddd" Shanahan explained his decision for not suspending Wolski in a video posted on NHL.com. "Wolskis not a dirty player, and has no history of being a dirty player. There are collisions that occur on the ice where, unfortunately, one player sees it just prior," Shanahan said. "On this play here, Wolski has got to get out to his point. You see here, (Marian) Gaborik, the left-winger, has to come all the way to Wolskis point on the right side because Wolskis not there. (Wolski) ran into Alfredsson trying to get there. "Weve seen enough of these now -- and I dont like these -- but seen enough of them where when one player sees (the hit) just prior, he tenses up. And sometimes he even leans in, because hes bracing for an impact. When both guys see it, its two guys tensing up and they bounce off each other and everybodys fine. Its really unfortunate here, when one player doesnt see it and the other guy does." Theres little doubt the Senators will miss having Alfredsson in the lineup. In ten games, he has four goals and seven points, but its his presence on the ice and in the locker-room the team will miss most. "Hes a leader by example and he goes out and plays 100 per cent and gives it everything hes got," defenceman Chris Phillips said. "Hes an offensive guy, but hell go out and hes forechecking, hes hitting, hes doing things he wants everyone else to be doing. "Hes a great leader that way. Hes very important to the success of this team." Senators coach Paul MacLean is hopeful Alfredsson wont be sidelined for too long, but in the interim hes looking for other players to take advantage of the opportunity. "Injuries happen all the time in the course of a season and youre going to lose your best players and other players," MacLean said. "I always like to say its an opportunity for someone to step up and play at a different spot and do a good job for us."
