Draft Thread Part 4

i wonder if kuminga could fall to 7

It's possible. He has all the tools, but he's still quite raw. Looks like an Andrew Wiggins type, but with a much better motor.

[Indeed]

Is he a star? I'm starting to lean towards this kid being underrated as heck! He has the size, and the skill, all while still being 18

After watching this video, I like him a lot more than Wagner.

He might be around for one of our second round picks. I'd love to draft this kid and develop him into a nice 3/4 player.

Slight concern with his foot speed and bust, he should be a capable defender, but could be limited on the offensive end. Perhaps scouts can evaluate it better.

[Indeed]

Roko and JT Thor are two guys who I firmly believe we'll look back at 3-4 years and think why the hell were they picked so low

When you have someone like Cooper at the mid-1st who could be a top 10 pick in a regular draft, it is really hard to have some of those going up any higher. This draft is just deep, even at 46 or 47, we may find someone being a good role player.

i wonder if kuminga could fall to 7

I think he definitely is the popular candidate to fall. Honestly if he does, the Raps might have to really think.





The tight handle on some of these PnR reps and that straight, balanced shot with not a lot of bend at the hips or knees. Reminds me a lot of Kawhi. I have been up and down on him. Hard prospect to evaluate

[Morse Code]

If Kuminga is available when we pick, it’s an automatic yes for me. Too much potential to not give our development staff a chance to get their hands on him.

[ATLTimekeeper]

So there hasn't been a single RSCI year where more than 3 players in the top 10 made at least one all-star game. This goes back to 1998.

4 years have produced 3 all-stars.
8 have produced 2.
7 have produced 1.
1 produced 0

Not included is 2017, which could produce 3 (MPJ, Sexton, Ayton). And then 2019 doesn't look great at the moment (Wiseman, Stewart, Anthony, Edwards, Carey, Manion, Jaden McDaniels, RJ Hampton, Scottie Lewis, Maxey).

ESPN is hyping this draft up like there 5 #1 picks, and we know that Cunningham (1), Green (2), Mobley (3), Barnes (5) and Suggs (7) are likely locks to go lotto.

Quentin Grimes and Charles Bassey are coming out this year and were top 10 back in 2018 also. They both seem like potential late steals not lottery picks though.

Yeah, they both seem like Raptor/Watson picks for the 2nd round.

I can definitely see a team like Cavs or warriors taking barnes over him but idk if there would be another player at 6

I get TMac vibes from him. Smooth athlete that sometimes appears casual as a result (although TMac was lazy early on in his career). The fact that he came out early and went pro is a bit of a tough gauge.

[deeps6x]

I'm fine with either of the Johnson's, Mitchell or Barnes at 7/8. Hell, if Masai falls in love with Giddey, (presumably for future growth and one more tanking season), I'm down with that as well. I hope we move up, but if we don't, we are still improving through the draft.

[WuTang_CMB]

Kuminga is a beast. Hes not dropping.

[Pooper]

If we win the lottery (not number one pick) I hope we get Suggs as he's such a high IQ player and can deliver high level play every night. If we stay at 7, I hope we either get Bouknight, Mann or Moody. Raptors need a 3 level scorer since Norm, maybe Lowry are gone and Pascal is out for a month into the regular season. For the second rounders, I'm hoping we target SFs and Cs since Pascal is out for a month and Stanley Johnson is gone. I'm hoping we get either Roko, Todd or Boston for the SF position and Pitrusev, Badji, or Onu for the C.

He knows what challenges he must face

There is no thinking. You take him if he drops to 7.

[bboyskinnylegs]

if somehow Kuminga falls to 7 it's a no-brainer pick IMO. I think Cade/Mobley/Green are a lock for the top 3, with Suggs also being in the top 5. That would mean two other players would need to be selected in the top 6 besides Kuminga, which I think is highly unlikely. I guess we'll see.

I think the only way he drops is if his interviews are bad and or he refuses to do workouts.

[Syd-TK3]

Kuminga at 7 is a no brainer

Hypothetical question is would you trade back from 4 for to 5/6 for kuminga if cade/green/Mobley gone and it's a team like Orlando offering the bulls pick

Or scouts watched him in the g league.

He was terrible.

Good review on Mitchell

He wasn't terrible, that's a stretch

His shooting percentages were pretty bad.
