Young Ray Allen


The footwork at that speed running around is incredible. He's always square. Hard to do.

He may not be the most "Raptorsy" prospect at 13 but I would love the fit

In your opinion, at #13 Who'd be the:

1) safest pick

2) biggest reach

3) What is everyone seeing, that I'm not

4) How is everyone not seeing, what I'm seeing

#1- Cason, maybe Dick, or Miller.

#2- Bilal? (or the super bust quartet of JHS, NSJ, GG Jackson, or Maxwell Lewis)

#3- Hawkins or George

#4- Podz

I’m surprised Leonard Miller isn’t gonna be in the green room

1) Cason Wallace - Can shoot and defend consistently and doesn't need the ball especially if Fred and Pascal are back long term
2) Leonard Miller - Too raw and we have too many players like him that are athletic but can't shoot(Banton, Precious, Scottie)
3) Brandin Podziemski - Yes he has a good shot, great playmaking skills with size however his athleticism, first step/one vs one separation, and defence are horrid. To be a 3 level scorer you have to have the defence guess where you're going to shoot. I feel like even if the defence gets it wrong they will be able to recover quickly since he's so slow.
4) Marcus Sasser - The dude's an offensive baller with a bit of defence with his wingspan. He can create for himself and also play off-ball 3. The only knack on him especially fitting with team is playmaking but I feel like Darko can teach him how to move the ball and how to execute a pick and roll. He's also can grow with Scotties since they're close in age.

Going by Green room invites, if Brooklyn wanted to trade up with #21 & #22, would you rather have Dariq Whitehead & Leonard Miller OR just Cason Wallace?
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Are we trading Pascal for Scoot?

From a value perspective, that's intriguing if you already have a PG of the future locked down.

Assuming the top 3 are locked. If Bilal and Bufkin sneak into the top 12, that means 1 of the following guys drops to 13. The Thompson twins, Whitmore, Wallace, Walker, Hendricks, Dick, or Black. And say someone like NSJ or Keyonte sneaks in as well?!? HOOOO MANNN!!

I honestly wouldnt mind moving back to 16 and picking up 28. Especially if they're going to take someone like JHS and know he'll be there 3 spots later

Could've made those deals last year but its not happening now. Portland likes Sharpe and Indy likes Mathurin, both are cost controlled good players, meanwhile OG's about to get paid next year.

Jarace is my new #3 behind Scoot and Wemby.

It depends. Fans think one way and front offices think another way. If Indy wants to bet on being a winner this year they might be willing to talk about Mathurin. I’d be willing to discuss Pascal with them as well, but that might need to include a 3rd team to squeeze some more value out of it.
