With the 9th Pick, the Raptors select Collin Murray-Boyles!

[HumbleRen]

He obviously dislike the pick because its on a different country and multiple core players plays his position - Foward.

We have the most insecure fans i have EVER seen. stuff like this is all over the thread.

The accusation that we have the most insecure fans because of our reaction to CMB's reaction is just slander.

We are fully aware that Toronto, the only international NBA team, has unique challenges attracting certain athletes. His reaction of shaking his head no, cursing, and having a dead pan look on his face was not initially reassuring.

Personally, I think his post draft interviews put those initial concerns to rest. He was simply in disbelief of the whole experience and seems genuinely happy to be a Toronto Raptor.

Bro, people are in his IG comments and under the replies of the raps accounts posts calling him and his girl all type of names.

Our fanbase 100% has sensitivity issues.

[ArthurVandelay]

When the Raps won the championship, I let out a big F$5K. I guess I was upset at winning.

Did you also have a look of disgust on your face and shake your head no? Seriously, are you really confused as to why people could interpret that as dissapointment?

People react in different ways to different situations. There isn't one way to react. Dude was just drafted. People pretending to be a body language expect and running with the idea that he doesn't want to be here is the lamest thing I've seen from this fanbase.

The smile after he said "****!" is far from remorse/anger/frustration.

thats our reputation around league as well, windhorst on the espn mentioned that during the draft last night

[HumbleRen]

The shooters on this team are going to love playing with him.

He has a special ability to get to the paint with a live dribble. A lethal sledgehammer from all angles.

I really hope he somehow becomes an average shooter, it would open up so many passing opportunities for him. His lower body mechanics on his shot is a tough watch though.

Gradey is going to love his screening.

Fun

Bob myers mentioned last night that shooting in a playoff game gives you the edge. I’d argue watching okc’s run it was their comittment to defense and all the defensive versatility that won them vs denver and indiana. Raps were already a team that built 2019 with defensive versatility so its nothing new but its good to see they doubled down on whats successful in the playoffs. CMB impacs winning on both ends. Let’s see how he develops but the foundation is certainly there of a winning player.

[TimeForChange]

Reading the comments on CMB's IG and even here, I swear we have the stupidest fan base

99.9% of the fan base does not watch basketball. They’re more about the drama.

I think it’s really people who spend all day on the shade room who then decide to watch the raptors when it’s convenient.

I'm not defending people calling him names. I'm defending people's initial interpretation of his reaction that maybe he wasn't thrilled about being drafted by Toronto.

There are nasty fans in every city.

[OakleyDokely]

You'd think after the championship people would lose the 'woe is me' attitude, but I guess not. Even if CMB didn't want to be in Toronto, who gives a F? You think Ainge is worried whether Ace wants to be in UTA? Most guys once they get here like the city and the franchise and CMB probably won't be much different.

Tolzman told everyone in his press conference that they would not be drafting a center and they were focussed on defense and people still fell for the Maluach hype.

[Tripod]

Better not be one prospect w more value than him after 9.

I think the Raptors reputation was destroyed a lot this off season. Missing out on a big fish. The CmB meme missing 99% of his workout 3s is trending more than anything we ever do. Masai made a joke of us

You must live in an odd world

People did the same thing when Jakobe got drafted, he was stoic as hell when he got drafted.

Dude hasn’t left the city since he’s got here.

Scottie was 100X more excited when he got drafted here yet Jakobe stays in the city way more than Scottie does in the off season. People read too much into the initial draft reactions.

[OakleyDokely]

Lets get to a more important issue, like CMB wore 30 in SC but Ochai currently has 30.

I don't believe that you believe it doesn't matter one ioda wether players want to play for our city. It does matter.

I agree that many players change their tune once they get here, but why would that matter to you if it has zero importance?

[WuTang_CMB]

The biggest idiot online. No surprise. Do you know how many times iv said fk out of excitement / shock? Lol

Demar is from Compton and was basically crying because the Raps traded him. Some guys are going to grow to love the city, some guys won't care as much. This happens with every city. But in the end, they're paid to play basketball.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

I can't find a good Barrett trade

[Tha Cynic]

What do you guys think now? Can he play SF?

He can probably defend SF, offensively he is more a PF. SB’s can take SF.

He can defend every position including guards on defense. He's an elite defender

I think running with the idea that he doesn't want to be here based on an ambiguous draft reaction is the lamest thing ever.

If he came out before the draft and said he didn't want to be in Toronto, that would be one thing, but in every interview he gave before the draft, he only said nice things about the team and city. And he repeated the nice things in his post draft presser.

People make up these crazy stories in their head and then pretend everyone else is the crazy one.

[Westside Gunn]

Watched some of his tapes yesterday. This morning the Rondae Hollis Jefferson comparison made by a poster isn't that far off.

Thinking of other undersized PF/C's who didn't have much of a shot: Joey Graham, Justice Winslow, Pops Mensah Bonsu, DeJuan Blair, PJ Tucker. And I brought up Corliss Williamson who is probably the best case scenario.

Masai is really good at what he does, but the history of undersized players that cant shoot the ball is pretty ****.

Charles Barkley was a long time ago

If he doesn't develop a shot or can't finish with authority around the basket, which is his comfort zone, he will be forced to take a mid range which he should be okay with, or else he will struggle being really far out near the 3 point line.

I don't know which direction the game is headed with SGA having success and the Pacers, but if the mid ranger is here to say there just might be some promise here.

Not exactly optimistic about the pick but I'm rootin for all this year

Exactly. Until they get in the city, play as season and discover what the city has to offer, the initial reaction means nothing. Let him get to TO first and we'll see.
