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

There is a good chance...either or with be available undrafted...

Very small chance they go undrafted. They’ll be gone within the next 10-15 picks at worst

Masai should offer one of them a contract right now & have them tell teams not to draft them lol

Early returns for G league Ignite aren't good at this point.

I want Amari on the Raptors so bad. He’s better than Nick Smith in essentially every way

I have a feeling teams don't completely buy into his shooting. He should go within the first half of the 2nd.

Ricky Council at around 45 could be huge steal.

I don't see that happening. Spending money on a pick means that a city of Toronto public worker's retirement is affected. Can't have that happening.

I think a lot of people had this as the expected result this year. If Leonard Miller wasn't Canadian, he would not have been noticed by this board other than in passing

If we can come out with Rupert or Cissoko as undrafted FA that would be a massive steal. I think Rupert's got a lot of immediate value and could develop a ton with some work.

Now this is someone the raptors should definitely be targeting


We need someone to push Gary's ass, line em up 3 deep and let em battle it out. Gary isn't up to the task his ass gets dealt at the deadline.

The Raptors are the team that throws out 1sts and 2nds like beads. Purtle, trading for Thaddeus young (and dumping Dragic), dumping Thaddeus young, etc.

Colby Jones, Leonard Miller, Sidy Cissoko, Amari Bailey all still available in the second round.

Now I know nothing is going to get done because it never does but there is still talent available
