I think he’ll be the best player in this draft

He has lightning quick speed

Green is the safest pick out of the top 4. Players with his athleticism, size and scoring ability don't bust. The last time we saw a player with this type of combo was Kobe...

There is no way we don't draft the BPA.

In the modern NBA in terms of impact on winning, guards & wings > big man. Factoring that in, then we likely stick with Green / Suggs as BPA over Mobley.

The Raptors won't have a choice in the matter so out of Cade, Suggs, Green and Mobley....Mobley is left, that's the pick.

The more I think of it, it's probably between Mobley vs Suggs on who's going to drop to Toronto.

Knowing the Houston owner and his potential money issues, he's probably going to want the box office guy just to put butts in the seats.

He'll want people to forget about harden ASAP.

For me its:

Green
Suggs
Mobley

In that order

Any of the 4 would be great, although after seeing Wiseman last year I’m leery on bigs.

I prefer Suggs over Green, but I have a feeling it'll be either Green or Mobley that drop to 4.
The way Green has a tendency to land awkwardly on only his left leg scares the hell out of me. Suggs isn't as athletic but is more of a complete player.

I really like Green's shooting.
But he's clocking in at 82 KG. that kind of concerns me.

Suggs on the other hand is built really solid but somehow he reminds me of George Hill not sure if that's a good thing.

Not for nothing...you can bet all 4 of these guys want to go to raps. It's by far the best situation for each respective player.

If we draft Green, we are basically drafting Fred's replacement. How ironic is that, considering Fred repped us at the draft?

Unless Fred magically gains some court awareness in the off season, a Fred/Green backcourt doesn't work well enough to do any damage, imo. I really don't want Fred as our primary ball handler and PG.

On the flip side, with Suggs as our primary ball handler Fred can play to his strengths as an off-ball threat and that combo would be pretty deadly.

Yep. And unless there's an early promise, all the top guys will visit with each of the top teams and the Rockets/Cavs pale in comparison to the situation we've got going on. Especially if they're able to travel here.

Remember that Norm video where he recounts coming here for his workout?

Agreed there. Suggs is exactly the perfect backcourt partner with Fred.

But Jalen Green or Evan Mobley will tear up the league for the next 15 years... So hard to be upset any which way lol.

For Mobley supporters, what's your main draw with him? I'm scared off by the lack of offensive game.

Raptors are heading into a golden age. The league better stock up on shady referees.

Unless they’re a generational talent.
Bigs are always gonna take longer, for instance this will probably be the year Marvin Bagley takes a leap

I feel like Greens floor is Tyreke Evans. The guy is going to be a scorer no matter what. He's going to be a 20 PPG guy on his rookie deal. It's just a matter of how efficient he is and what else he can bring to the table.

Who do we get at #4
