  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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
