He's too small to be a big. Is he a SF going forward? I'm not sure how we win with him or where to put him.


That's what I see him as - SF. He's 6'6". Can't play PF.

I remember watching a interview and he said the best thing about him is his strength. Maybe we see him a small ball C/SF.

No if you can find a longer clip you can see him looking at his phone before the pick was announced on stage where he obv got the news and looked upset shaking his head....He didn't wanna be drafted here..


Question would be why did he come here for a workout if that was the case.


Have no idea....But his reaction was deff disappointment.

Bruh you can't be serious. Are you really not capable of understanding why he might react that way

thinking on it. I would've rather they traded back for Beringer

I was sold on Beringer. He has higher bust potential, though.

Welp. Time to tuck in and hope Masai has tricks up his sleeve over the significant time remainder in the offseason.

Pelicans trading up to grab... Derik Queen
Raptors record prediction: 45-37 (6th place in the East)

To start, he'll likely be the first big off the bench.

I know he has his limitations but he has standout characteristics. Excellent rebounder and screener. Quick jumper without needing to bend deeply at the knees to get rise. Strong. Excellent passer. Elite rim finishing.

Truly think he'd be top 3 if he was 2 inches taller. I wouldn't sweat that difference given what he can do

It seems like he's an outlier in a part of the game. If he could bully in college then he'll do it in the pros.

Because of his strength I want to compare him to Barkley but Im to young to have seen Barkley so.....

she is easy on the eyes that's why. But she is really annoying



Make her a sideline reporter but she has no business to be at the draft.

Yea she is too PC to the point that she has no personality

CMB is a terrible fit with Giannis too.


He doesn't really fit alongside Poeltl either


He’s just a flat out bad fit on this team. The odds he becomes a positive shooter are low (he was a worse shooter than Barnes in college). The fit is pretty bad, at least for the next couple of years.

at the very least you recoup other assets too.

but they're clearly trying to win now

Raps should have done that trade for 9th.
