Gradey seems underrated to me. His skillset would really help us. Seems to be a a rare prospect that could be a truly elite shooter but with good size, IQ, has some toughness, and won't kill you defensively. Basically, I see his ceiling as something closer to Klay with a little lesser but still competent defence. That's a hell of a player. Pure shooter.

I just don't know what to make of the footage I've seen. The combine/workouts are going to be huge for them IMO. They have the potential to either solidify themselves at the top, or freefall if they don't stack up against other prospects.
With that said I'm keeping a close eye on Amen in particular. That first step alone, along with this athleticism might make for an exciting prospect.

Jarace Walker: great combination of skill, size and athleticism. I think he can play spot minutes at centre but the raptors have enough forwards.
Besides shooting the raptors desperately need someone who can elevate the play of teammates.
The 3 -14 range has more talent than what I first thought. I agree with you all of those prospects in that range should participate in combine scrimmages/Individual workouts and interviews to avoid dropping.

He’s not a great fit, but Walker’s my favourite prospect outside of Wemby, Scoot and Amen. I think he’s got a real chance to be special.
*INGRAM*ALLSTARSEASON* Wemby is HIM - Top 5 Player this year

I wouldn't say my favourite outside of those 2 per say, I do think Miller is such an ideal piece with Scottie (just makes me dream of also trading OG for Trey Murphy III & LAL pick buuuut I'll leave that alone). Miller's shooting & floor spacing I think is currently making him my favourite non Vic & Scoot pick BUT he is up there with Whitmore & Ausar for me.
I just absolutely love what he is defensively (seems very Draymond-ish) but yet is shooting near 40% from 3, shows some flashes of shot creation AND is a very underrated passer. I'd be beyond happy to draft him. Any of the previous names I've mentioned in this post & I'd feel like we damn near won in the lottery too, with Keyonte & Black being the other 2 guys that I'd still feel like it was all worth the rough year which is like 8+ players that to me I MUCH rather have than trying to senselessly go after a crappy PlayIn spot.

For me, Wemby, Scoot and Amen are a clear top-3 (with each having their own tier). I know a lot of people have Miller as the third best prospect in this draft, which is understandable— he’s climbed up to number 6 (and might end up #4 or 5) for me, so I understand the appeal.
Walker’s movement skills at his size are really, really impressive, and the touch he has on his floaters is extraordinary. I really like the shot creation upside, and obviously his defense looks like it’ll be elite. I think he ends up being one of the top-5 players from this class, but only time will tell.

Kris is a 22 year old junior. I think Jett Howard is Kris with playmaking skills.
I think Portland could take him as high as #9 and I think won't get past the Clippers and Warriors at 16 and 17.
