From the first minutes he played last year he seems to always make the right play and always plays hard. He is a starting calibre player right now imo but this year I see him being strong contributor off the bench. He’s only going to get better with Raps player development. 29 other teams would love to have him and there’s a few teams he could easily start on. Just so happy the Raptors have him, he’s got Ben Simmons like vision but isn’t going to cry when things don’t go his way and has a way better jumper at this point in time.
Welcome to the board! Word of advice, always remember that your opinion in 100% accurate at all times.. no contradicting opinions can be shared about it.. defend it with 100% bravado, and do not take any compromise, thats a sign of weakness, and you arent weak, are you? Do this, and you will fit right in.
I agree, I think Banton is a steal.. hoping he can find a consistent 3 + tighten his handle.. if he does, then in a few years he may be considered a top 10-15 in a mock re-draft. His speend is amazing, and speed kills.. his finger rolls at the rim are tantalizing.. tons of swag and vibes that come with him too.
We all know Masai loves FRP's.. however, I agree with the sentiment that they may be a little less valuable for us given our ability to find talent in the second and beyond. But lets not kid ourselves either, Siakam, OG, Poetle, Trent are all FRPs.. even Koloko is a fringe FRP... obv Barnes too, but that's a different calibre FRP that I don't expect us to be in any time soon.
Will be interesting to see if this plays into the decision making when it comes to a potential consolidation trade.. as everyone keeps pointing out, Raps have a ton of draft capital that we can spend on someone, if that's what we want to do.
