My issue with the pick is what the logjam at shooting guard Gary, Trent jr, abagi and I’m afraid they are going to the BPA Johnny Furphy. What is the path for playing time for Ja’Kobe? Maybe positional needs doesn’t matter, let these guys battle it out and trade whoever doesn’t do well.
People are still questioning if GTJ will even be coming back. If he's traded or he leaves, there's going to be opportunities. having GTJ on the roster doesn't fit as well in this case. So we'll see how they'll handle all this.
@@Sio-33 Why not? Especially if they have plans of trading Jakob. I know Raps would also need wings but we still have the Bruce Brown trade chip as well.
@baloux because flip won't be good in the NBA.... Smith or Bona js the better option 10/10 time if we looking for a big! I also doubt we trade Jak. Bruce is gone and GTJ also might be as well but Flip will not be good and if we want a floor spacing big we should take the giy with 10x the upside in Smith
Gary Trent Jr, Bruce Brown, Jovon Freedom Liberty, Jordan Nwora are all not on the Raptors next week and will add some clarity on the pick. There will be competition for minutes with Gray, Ochai and Ja Kobe - all good
So we still have Trent, Brown, Agbaji, Freeman Liberty, Boucher, McDaniels, Nwora... Can't say I'm enthusiastic about this. Some of these players I have no idea why they are on the team except perhaps that there is no market for them or minimal return.
Now go grab Kolek - trust it! Raps need a back up ball handler, they need a natural PG. Kolek is a senior who can step right in behind IQ, and has sick numbers to play in the style of the coach. Shoots 50% from the floor, high 30's for 3's, over 7 and half dimes - he will be an ideal penetrate, then kick and pass guy on the second unit to Dick/Walter/Olynk/Obagi/Williams (when they sign him from the Bulls)
Best available is another way of saying you didn't get the player you wanted or had work out for you. Masai shouldn't be judged on what happened on day 1. He should be judged on what happens today.
Raptors cannot make the same mistake with Walter and wait too long getting him on an NBA program. Don't wait 4 months like they wasted the first half of Gradey's season.
The Raps selected the best player available. Hopefully they do the same at #31 if they keep the pick. That being said JW's body language and his family's reaction showed some real disappointment that Toronto selected him - "They Not Like Us". But he seemingly came around after the initial shock wore off and called it "destiny" since he wore a purple jacket. The Knicks are building a powerhouse thanks in part to Toronto. The Atlantic Division is going to be tough for many seasons to come. Toronto only had 1 Atlantic Division win in 2023-24. How much longer will Drake be the Raptors Global Ambassador? He's rolling with pedophiles and the Hells Angels. OVO is tarnished beyond repair...
“He got a weird player option, why is he around” killed me😂
Jmac was easily the most disappointing signings last year
@@GamerBoyDevin he just got traded
You guys are naturally 😂 your insights into the Raptor’s are appreciated. Keep on keeping on!
Is this the new place to see Will and Alex now? ❤

Love hearing about the Raptors player development strategies. It's the key for a non-free agent team to succeed. Thanks for the quality content.
6'10 wingspan (and solid defensive potential) on a 6'5 guard who can shoot? Here for it.
"We can't take on another Porter...." 😆😂🤣
Why not ? Lol everyone else is in. Ujiri, Webster, silva why players should be left out. Let’s go WWE baby.
Best in the businessss
Go Raptors!
I’m now convinced there’s a behind scene Cash Bidding System for the Draft - Toronto got Ja’Dough!
11:08 wait what happened to eric khoury??

Makail and OG are a version of the PG and Kawhi signings.
BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE AT 31 = NIKOLA DJURISIC. HIS COMP IS MANU GINOBILI

Another tank season incoming
Yup it is GTJ 2.0, time to go trade GTJ!
