I thought Koloko's illness really made an impact last season, their big rotation really suffered, especially when Jak went down. Adem Bona seems like a very similar player, and Masai probably held him when he was a baby or something. Would be amazed if he's not a Raptor.
I think something new I didn’t know about the FO is that they like guys from high schools of high pedigrees. This makes sense as these guys are likely playing the highest level U.S. basketball with high level coaches at an early age. Makes sense when you think about Scottie and Precious at Monteverde and Gradey at Sunrise Christian. Could be an indicator for pick 31. Maybe Flip from Wilbrahim & Monson - big prep school here in New York State. Bobby also said they would just take who they like so predicting won’t exactly be fruitful. If this pick doesn’t move, I’m thinking Flip, Tyler Smith, Edwards, Klintman, or some random wing.
He's 19 years old, If he has a good work ethic the sky is the limit. Look at Pascal. He was nothing when drafted, now he's a top 20 player due to sweat equity. This kid, if puts in the work and sticks to the plan could blow up. I mean he's just a kid, once he's 22 after 3 years in the league wow.
not complaining about the pick at all bcuz i’m all for BPA but man we have a lot of shooting guards lol.. went from having too many power forwards to having too many 2s.. we need size BADLY
Curious thought... All are on the same page that this may signal the end of GTJ. Although I understand that he has strengths that can really pop elsewhere, the raptors need to have as much space around Scottie as possible and he provides shooting. Are you guys suggesting that letting GTJ walk for nothing and not even making a run at him is the best way forward? That would be another failure for the raptors if he leaves for nothing
I wanted Isiah Collier … but Jakobe is safe pick & guy with allot of potential… I mean just 5 months ago he was top 5 pick .. A solid pick, and properly one of the steals of the draft
