I'd love to add Jalen Slawson.

Older wing player but doesn't have much weaknesses. I'd give him a camp invite at least.

Please grab Sidy in the 2nd.

Heck Maxwell Lewis, Amari Bailey are worth a likely very minor "asset" to grab a 2nd.

If you can get in now and grab Miller, could be an absolute STEAL at this point in this draft.

We need to get Sidy I think he's going to be a future starter in the NBA at the very least.

Miller would surpass Achiuwa as having the worst basketball IQ on our team immediately.

Feel bad for Miller. He was projected in this exact range last year. Exiting the draft last year and going to the G League did nothing for him except for lose a years worth of NBA salary

There's major flaws with all prospects in this range. Got to take a risk for once

I'd trade in now for Leonard Miller or at minimum into early 2nd rd for Sidy.

Those guys could be huge steals relative to a likely very low asking price. People were throwing out 2nd rd picks like beads at parades lol just asking for a minor bet on someone with a big time upside relative to where you're getting them

Not sure what you guys see with Miller. We don’t need anymore negative BBIQ players

another year we hear this is the year there will be fireworks, picks 2-10 available in draft for moves, and in the end nothing happens

we need to stop letting the media make up stories to drive up clicks/views.

shame on the fans for falling for it again.

Let's go get Dmoi Hodge after the 2nd round concludes if he doesn't go late.

he did improve a lot this year and I think will be much better equipped to play in the NBA now

Not trying to do everything they can to get a pick for Miller or Sidy would be stupid.

There was another Kobe in the draft? Guess I didn't really research much beyond the top 25 picks or so this year.

He could’ve achieved the exact same thing in an NBA team’s G league affiliate this year. Literally the only difference is he didn’t make an nba salary for a year

Now this is someone the raptors should definitely be targeting
