With our easy schedule, the pacers free falling and the bulls being complete garbage it's unlikely we finish any worse then 10th in the East.
Probably 7/8th peak if we go on a run

I think the Nets slowly sink to .500 and the Raptors finish ahead of them.

Might be able to catch the Knicks and Heat. Our biggest additions will be OG and Trent healthy. :lol:

Nets have a 7 loss advantage on us I don't expect them to keep losing they're actually still a good team and will have a lot to prove. As good as we may look now we are still just barely beating up on lottery teams

Keeping all that in mind outside the Lottery I like Lewis and Hood-Schifino

He's going to need to show some versatility in his game to get picked higher.

10-15 range

K.George
Jett Howard
GG Jackson
Jarace Walker
Terquavion Smith
Taylor Hendricks
Maxwell Lewis

I'll be happy with any one of those guys

He won't be a bust. Not someone you should swing for the fences with in the top 5 but after that he'll be solid and safe, because he can fit on any team and he's young enough that you can imagine what NBA training regiments would do for him. Like, if he had several cycles of #HeatCulture he'd be a problem.

Kansas also goes long stretches freezing him out in the games I've watched.

I think that wings that can be found easily and maybe a veteran via FA is a better way to go. Sign Donte DiVincenzo with the full MLE!

Sure they may turn out like Cam Thomas, Josh Green, Jalen Williams, etc, but you may also get a Johnny Davis, Ochai Agbaji, Wendell Moore, Blake Wesley, etc.

Watch on YouTube

Just sign Jordan Miller as an UDFA. He looks like 6'7 Josh Hart. :nod:

Could he be the 2nd best Miller (Brandon, Leonard, Baba) entering the NBA in the fall?

Born: January 23, 2000 (age 23 years)

I don't think that Trayce Jackson-Davis goes undrafted but I really want him on the Raptors. He doesn't shoot the 3 but damn He's like a bouncier Jaylin Williams. Xavier Tillman is spot starting for Memphis with Adams out. He could be a Dwight Powell and play for 10 years.

TJD beats #1 Purdue and now outplays Hunter Dickenson for a W, putting up 28 pts, 11 rebs, 3 ast, 2 blks!

If we had a SRP, I would have loved to take a swing on Judah Mintz.

Is there a sortable list on a website or spreadsheet somewhere where I can view all the top draft prospects?
Basically I don't care too much about film, am a numbers guy and want to see if there are any PGs/SGs worthy of the Raptors pick this year.

Things I care about in a guard-
Oreb%
Assists and ast/to
rim finishing %
FTr
FT%
stocks.

Ranked around mid 2nd round maybe? But could fall due to age/heart issue. Need guys who fit roles, he's a 230 lb 6'5+ guard that can shoot the 3 very well. Not sure about his quickness.

Not sure where you'll find the spreadsheets. But you might like Cason Wallace. But I don't think this draft is particularly deep for guards, compared to the abundant of wings available.

Same. These are my main guys if we fall out of the Top 14.

Would really love another first to get Jones though. I think he has a chance to be a very good player at the next level.

He's referring to Gradey Dick.

Its true that he disappears during the game, its only cause he's a freshman on one of best teams in the nation.

I having in my lottery. I was trying to compare his man defense to other prospects in the same draft. BoyzNTheHood comaprison to FVV defense is a good one.

There is a lot more to like than dislike in Gradeys game. He comes from an athletic family, his mother played collegiate ball for Iowa.

Gradey Dick popped off last night

Watch on YouTube

Thinking about him in our lineup as the SG with Scottie Pascal and Jak I can see very efficient basketball being played by that unit. High efficiency inside scoring and with Dick outside scoring too. We swap OG for a quality young PG and possibly some bench depth instead of picks and suddenly we have a team we can get behind.
