Do you enjoy being told to relax because you do it to other people very frequently and it's not a nice thing to say. Kindness towards others can go a long way.

Who was even talking to you? Mind your own business and relax with telling others about kindness when you’re in here with a chip on your shoulder every single day.


Please stop telling other people to relax after provoking them, I went through your post history and found many instances of you doing it and also engaging in backseat moderating. It is belittling and offensive.

If you’re done targeting me I’ll thank you to stop. You entered yourself into a conversation that was not only cleared up, but did not include you in any way. At this point you’re harassing me. Online bullying is still bullying. You’ve been reported.

Kobe will rise in workouts. Had good improvement from last season scoring wise showing he's 3 level type and can defend somewhat (at least willing)

Bufkin is on my late first round gems list right along with Podz, Jones & Sasser.

I actually like him as a prospect more than Jett

Its a smart move to test the waters and get some feedback. I expect Riley Kugel will do the same. Both should return and play their sophomore seasons.

If Maxwell Lewis played with the polish that Bufkin plays with he would be a consensus lottery pick. It sucks because Lewis flashes stuff that is way more exciting/advanced than what Bufkin has flashed but he is a lot more sloppy and inconsistent.

I think some of the clips might be against lesser competition.

Analysts keep placing him as someone we will draft. Don't see it.

If the Raptors got to choose between Black and Wallace that would be a good thing no? I'd gladly take either player on the team.

Don't care for the upside of Wallace but I'd rather have him. If we had decent shooters I would rather have Black. Given the fact we're gonna be a win now team I don't tihnk a non-shooting pg is gonna get much burn on the roster

He's probably got the most upside of all the non lottery prospects. He's the type of player I'd want if this draft is truly a weak draft. He could use a homerun pick

He's the perfect homerun pick for team with multiple 1st and rebuilding. Makes zero sense for us tho

The Raptors wouldn't draft GG Jackson. Doesn't matter what draft analysts think. Home runs later on in the draft are either coming from outside the NCAA or highly productive NCAA players.

Not for long. KOC already has him 10th. The talent and floor is already there and media are seeing it and adjusting. GM’s already going to love his 3 and D skillset at that height with upside to possibly do more. No chance he falls out lottery imo.


Who is KOC?

Kevin O'Connor. TBH he's not a good analyst and "the ringer" in general is hit or miss.

Him and NSJ are leading my do not draft list. I can eventually come around on a GG since he's only 18, but the production right now is F'n abysmal. But I definitely see the high end creation skills you'd like from 6'9 forward. But if you draft him, don't expect a productive return until about year 2-3.

I'd still rather another team take that chance
