Luguentz Dort could be interesting as well

He’s built like a tank and plays hard is also a good passer

I also think he’s pretty likely to fall to the second

quinndary weatherspoon is my guy at 59 for now

we already worked him out and hes one of the best inside out SGs in the class, efficent scorer, decent passer and defender

I think Thybulle is a lock to be an All-NBA defender at some point. I haven't seen many wings impact a game the way he does on the defensive end.

Glad to see we got a look at Armoni Brooks, who reminds me a bit of a poor man's Beal:

My opinion on the 2nd round is that you always draft the guy that can do one (maybe two) things really well, but fell short b/c of other limitations. Pick those players, and have them play to their strengths and work on their weaknesses to bring those up to an acceptable level. You can end up with a pretty solid player who can excel in a defined role. Just look at DeAndre Jordan, Draymond Green, Isaiah Thomas, Patrick Beverly, PJ Tucker, Kenneth Faried, etc.

They all have severe limitations to their games, generally in scoring (sans IT), but do one or two things really well that they used to propel their game in other places after being drafted. Sometimes they get better, sometimes they don't. But if you can grab a guy who can do nothing but rebound, or play a bit of defense and pass the ball, that's good enough for where we're picking. A half-decent role player at the end of the 2nd round would be a huge steal for us.

This would be my pick.

he has a good feel for the game. Poised and efficient. Its hard to find the next van vleet but he has that poised smooth game

He is older the OG but at the 59th pick you cant really ask for too much

ofcourse this guy would be great at 59....but I dont think he comes out this year

We know he can shoot but the best thing i like about him is his rebounding...i dont like one dimensional players. It's always nice when they can bring something else and rebounding says a lot about a player

his personality is also great and i know the raptors will like his type of personality

but i doubt he stays in the draft

Assuming Kabengele or Okeke don't miraculously fall I'm interested in:

Miye Oni, SF
Eric Paschall, SF/PF
Quinndarry Weatherspoon, SG
Jaylen Nowell, SG
Dylan Windler, SG
Zach Norvell, SG
Adam Mokoka, SG
Jaylen Hands, PG
Kyle Guy, PG
Sagaba Konate, PF
Marcos Louzada, SG
Lamar Peters, PG
Simi Shittou, PF

Ah.. After so many years of failure, some Raptor fans still haven't learned.

Thing is..what do any of us know about the best player available?

Pascal?Giannis ?Anyone see those guys being what they are?

But whoever MU sees as the best player available..

ESPNs mock has him at 27

If he’s there I think he’s definitely worth trading up for us

He’s got all the tools and needs a good situation we can provide that and build him up as the SG of the future

Being the Raptors didn't have a first round pick.. truthfully have not payed as much attention to this years draft.

I'd Kawhi gave a indication of staying/going.you could trade up. As is.. you're stuck in a hold pattern.

Jordan Bone could fall to 59th.

I guess it depends on what exactly we trade

A late first probably isn’t that valuable

We wouldn’t move and future firsts because of the Kawhi situation

Maybe it could be a player or combo of such

I think Kevin Porter Jr has all star upside hidden away and we are one of the few teams win tools to unlock it

So it would be worth it in my eyes.
