It’s a bit overwhelming with all the draft possibilities but you presented some really solid choices that could come to pass. We will be ready! Thanks for another great episode.
This just proves more and more that they don't pay much attention to the Raptors those analysis don't make sense…smh
Great content. One of the reasons why there are "surprises" during the draft is often because the people writing the articles emphasize offense and Guards. But FO have multiple perspectives including defense. Raptors may need a trade to rebalance their roster and likely have the Intel of doing so
i wonder if a american made these horrible picks for Raptors. These picks dont make sense fears is to small, i know masai & bobby ain't picking these lil men 😅
We have toooooo many guards. We need Maluach
If Maluach is there…Raps will take him. And at the intro presser, masai will say "finally you are mine"
Our scouting department has been having quite the renaissance as of late, build upon some questionable picks in the past
We’ve hit on almost everyone we’ve drafted.I have the upmost confidence with our selections we almost seem spoiled when it comes to scouting and bringing in great developmental minds
To have all This and then mocked to picked Johni Broome as maybe a replacement should Chris Boucher depart almost too good to be true
I wish some scouts weren’t so scared of age especially coming from great programs
A team like ours who always prides itself on misfit toys
Heck even built on selections off the beaten path
To have players such as shead, pascal and Norman Powell who are all well worth dare I say lottery pick even the day they were drafted
Just so happen to continually almost annually prove themselves time and time again
Is incredible what’s another year or two to make most doubt them
Of course everyone probably wants their newest flagship to be as new as new can get
But maybe the time of doubting players aged 21 or 23 is over
With just how well basketball minds are getting
We seem to have an eye for it
And with a hungry team such as the raptors who seem to reignite a fire in players the day they get here that even professional scouts can’t sniff out
That can only come from being a team like the raptors and the quite a special one being the only Canadian team
And a team that seems hungry for the playoffs again
Picking up winners like broome
Would be rich
I think the raptors will always pride themselves with an excellent bench
Smaller market teams or more so destinations who maybe cant attract big free agents should be looking to compete with the art of the bench
Shead,Walter,Dick,Ochai,Broome,maluach,battle,mogbo,
Chomeche maybe as a defensive minded first PF once he’s older
Not even mentioning some of the other two way players with chips on their shoulders that might only have came from being on a team like ours
We’ll always always be a team who benefits from a great bench and I’m glad to say always will
I’m just glad I grew up when we were still losing so I won’t take any of what thousands of people have contributed to and continue to all for granted
Love the coverage
And certainly love the future
Hints of the 18/19 season already
