gradey is in deep trouble which i hope will make him work even harder this summer...ochai, walter, and shead should get a lot of bench time next season along with gradey...and minus khaman and queen, theres a lot of perimeter 1-3 positional guys in our range which could eat up even more minutes

That’s not a knock on Gradey. I still trust his shot more right now. But in terms of overall offensive upside, Walter feels more exciting and complete at this point.

If Walter was in this draft with what we know he'd be a shoe in top 5 pick after the main 3.

Wtf...I posted that on Reddit. We plagiarizing Reddit posts now? Bitch get your own thoughts lmao

I didn't copy your thoughts. I watch highlights, read comments, and then post my opinion which is formed by what I'm seeing and reading. Your comparison of Walter and Gradey and the differences in their game is shared by most fans. I didn't know you had a copyright on basketball observation. Anyone who's watching the Raptors right now is strictly doing so for Walter. I watch every game despite the tanking, you can see that from my participation in the game threads. If anything it looks like you summarized my post. If you are going to post personal attacks then don't bother interacting with me on this board.

Then a double down on top of that? Crazy.

I looked at Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, etc before making my post. I internalized what I read and when I shared my view and opinion it was echoed.

I probably read his post, agreed with his points and inadvertently used his points when writing my post, which has more details and is exclaimed with my opinion he'd be top 5 in the 2025 draft.

The whole thought I'm plagarizing my opinions is crazy when I've consistently been on the JKW hype train and it's clear I'm active in game threads.

No one is mad. Everyone just got a good chuckle out of it.

You're the one making it "deep".

Almost every sentence is the same and in the same order....lol.

If both were passed into a professor for grading right after one another, someone is failing for copying the others paper and just changing a few things to make it look a little different.

Sad thing is, it's a bad attempt at that too! It's VERY OBVIOUS.

:lol:

But you can still like Walter and watch every game.

You're good bro, it's just funny and we got a laugh out of it. You're a solid poster... Just don't steal a post again :lol:

You're more than free to be apart of whatever hype train you want you want to be.

Gradey might have slightly more offensive upside, but JW is the better all around player by far IMO. I still think Gradey has a place on this team but moreso as an off the bench scorer.

Walter’s defense is already a clear strength, but what’s really surprised me is how solid his offensive fundamentals are, especially compared to Gradey. His handle is more advanced, and he plays with greater poise on the ball. Gradey often looks rushed in similar situations. As a rookie, Walter is already making better passing reads and showing a natural feel for playmaking.

What stands out even more is the variety in his offensive toolkit. He’s shown the ability to put defenders in jail, bait fouls with craft, and pull off slow step finishes like the one in the Sixers game. He just feels more wired as a true hooper, someone who plays with instinct and versatility.

That’s not a knock on Gradey. I still trust his shot more right now. But in terms of overall offensive upside, Walter feels more exciting and complete at this point.

the only part that was his own thought was this lol, wtf i like walter a lot too but he goes 4 or 5 in this draft?
