Sounds about right

[C_Money]

It would be fricken hilarious if somebody chose Barnes before us. Not so funny if we chose him ourselves though.

[Raptorfan2012]

I have a weird feeling the Raptors have Mobley over Green on their board. Masai loves his defence and length; hunting for the next Giannis like player.

I agree. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if their board looks like this:

1. Mobley
2. Cade
3. Suggs
4. Green

Been saying this as well. Mobley having permiter skills like a wing is what puts him over the top. The length combined with that just creates too many advantages. His floor is there and certainly the upside. This isnt boom or bust. Raps just need to season him.

But what if he ends up better than one of the "top 4". This happens all the time in drafts, there is usually a bust in the consensus top few picks, and guys picked later end up better sometimes.

In 2018 Bagley was a consensus top 4 pick, ended up a bust. In 2017 Fultz was a consensus top pick, also a bust, in 2015 it Okafor was a can't miss prospect.. and so it goes.

Not saying this the same situation, but there is no way all 4 end up stars, just based on odds one will be subpar or maybe even a bust.

Is there a single GM that you would trust choosing the right one more than Masai?

I think Green (for defensive reasons and inability to put on strength/weight) and Mobley (lack of strength/development of a reliable jumper) are the most likely to bust.
Followed by Suggs not exactly busting but not getting better than an above average starter.

I guarantee it.

Barnes talks like Mike Tyson so mighty scared about his B-ball analytical problem solving. Oh and no way does Barnes go ahead of Mobley. Old media have to fill up the hours until the big day so... Mike Tyson ahead of Mobley. Uhm sure. What stir the pot projections will they do next week?

Neither Green nor Mobley will bust.

So by your assessment, which of the top 4 could be busts?

Presti. Our draft room is a real team. And when I say Presti I am just saying I trust him as much as Masai.

Getting drafted to which team plays a large part in it too. CLE got no idea what they doing vs going to Toronto. Chances are these players end up in a better position with TOR than CLE.

Youre not reading correctly, thats why I'm saying if Barnes is picked over whoever else is there at 4th shouldn't be a blunder. Thats my point.

Net zero.

Hmm given that's never happened since 1984 and 1996, I'd wager that aint gonna be true in 4 years lol
