Hoffa we barley knew thee…
Writing by shinda on Thursday, 8 of June , 2006
Rafeal Arujo, the Raptors (Babcocks) first round pick a few years back, finally ended his tenure today with the Raptors, after being dealt to the Utah Jazz.
Surprisingly we got two guys for him (Kris Humphries and Robert Whaley) leaving many to wonder if we got ripped off (how do you give away two guys of Hoffa of all people), but then again Hoffa’s stay in Toronto was as painful to watch, as watching one of those PETA videos, but you can only hope that he found a better home.
Now to describe Hoffa’s tenure with the Raptors isn’t hard, but rather then talk and write about it, I feel this video sums up his abilities, and why the fans felt the way they did about him.
**Note** Nate Robinsons is 5 foot 9 while Hoffa is 6′11.

Dhan Dhan oh vaheguru jinay Hoffa noo Utah pejta.
This summer just keeps getting better and better for the Raptors. I dont care about all these sentimental people towards Hoffa and how it’s not his fault he was selected 8th … it’s still his fault he’s one the worst players in the NBA today. The only other player i can think of that is as bad as him, is Loren Woods. Hopefully he’s next out of the door. Colangelo is taking out the trash , this season is going to be wicked.

Although Hoffa sucked in Toronto from day 1, he will be a good role player for the Jazz providing good minutes off the bench behind Ostertag n Boozer (assuming he’s still there at the start of the season). Hoffa had too much pressure on him in Toronto and couldn’t live up to the 8th pick. Remember this, Hoffa is going to be playing for a legendary coach in Jerry Sloan. Hoffa is already broken inside and now Jerry Sloan will rebuild him into the player he wants him to be. As much as Hoffa sucked in Toronto, he has some game and Sloan will utilize his game to the max. This was the best move for the Raptors and Hoffa. Now I know most of you will probably **** on me for these comments so start already!
Jerry sloan wanted hoffa in the 04 draft badly…Truss Jerry to get this deal done. He really liked hoffa at BYU
I thikn he will maximize the potential of Hoffa….the man can push some serious weight, so jerry will worl on his game and his mind…..
Cal-EL i the man
