If there's a Masai-type player in this draft outside of Sarr, it's this guy. He's a likely gone long before pick 31 though imo, so Masai must either expect us to keep our first or trade for one.

The kid is really good. With this draft being seen as weak, I wonder if Masai is canvassing the landscape for a potential trade where he can send Pascal to a team looking to compete right now who owns a higher pick. The only one who fits the bill right now is Memphis, but they’re barely worse than us.

You can get some contracts together that equal salary for Pascal that isn’t an overpay if you include what is currently the 6th overall pick.

lol this is just embarrassing. It’s funny cause he’s not even a winner either. USC has severely underperformed their preseason rankings and expectations. And the kid hasn’t hit a single FG in 3 games (0/14) and 40% FT

34.8 FG%, 23.1 3P%, 64.3 FT% through 9 games this season

Does Boucher have enough value for a first or a swap? If the latter, guessing they'd want a pick from whomever is interested in Siakam.

Looks like he got bumped up on the list but this Tyler Kolek kid was a projected as a possible Raptors 31st pick. Kid’s got some Steve Nash in him and his passing game is impressive. Will be interesting to see how he’s adjusts to bigger and quicker defenders in the NBA.

He reminds me of TJ McConnell which would be amazing at 31

Is Bub Carrington really a lottery pick? I wouldn't mind if he was available at our pick.

Top 10 protection made a lot more sense to than top 6. Raptors can still win the lottery.

He looks like a lottery selection to me.

Similar game to Jalen Johnson and 2 inches taller.

boucher can prob get a late first or two seconds, depending on the contract coming back.

Boucher can probably get that type of return.

Schroder can probably get a pick in the 20’s if a team needs a backup for the playoffs.

If someone wants to rent Gary he can probably command a decent return as well being young and full of potential to a lot of people.

Thad + Otto + Temple are about 17 million dollars worth of money to attach to a deal, or to get a pick out of for a team unwilling to pay the tax next season.

There are plenty of assets on this roster for a trade deadline makeover no matter the direction the brass chooses.

Not for me. He's not overly explosive or athletic and his shot has regressed since the start of the year. He's a skills over tools guy whose projection will improve as his skills do, which will take time.

True. He's a stat stuffer though and he plays for a bad team. He is a skills guy like a Livingston or a Scottie and his defense can improve but another multi-skill guy should work well with Scottie. Let me compare his stats with Scottie freshman year. Back-up to IQ.
