Only issue is that I cant see him and Barnes sharing the court unless its at PF/C.

Just imagine him when he’s 22-23. He really might be our best prospect
Last year he couldn't move without fouling. He's made a big stride. I really wish his ran hard all the time. I see him dogging it on breaks when he could easily get back into the play too often. I wouldn't let him see an NBA minute until he breaks that.
i mean most here werent even sure if he would play summer league given his mcl injury, hes missed alot of time, also im assuming one might be a bit trepidatious coming off such a major injury.
he looks miles better than last year. still got some stuff to work on but great progress so far.

I think it’s overall a good strategy IMO (even if obviously Shooting is also important) but I am convince it’s easier to improve shooting compare to work ethic , character , length etc…

Chomche is ready for NBA minutes. It'll be the best way to develop him. I would hope we play him in 40-50 games this year to get him development time. The FT shooting from him was great to see he's nailing it.

Kid was a MENACE defensively.
Loved what I saw.
His offensive game will come around. Kid is special.
I know what I said earlier in this thread but after that second half I’m a CMB believer. He just looks like he’s gonna be good. Just gets it. Insane reaction time and processing speed.

....Hes wing sized he better be able to dribble the ball....Hes not some big guy where it is amazing that he has a handle though...

This is implying that there are no offensive players with good work ethic and character either. If shooting was that easy to improve, why do so many hard workers who apparently work on their shot year after year make no progress? Then you even have players like dick who are drafted as shooters but are only average at best in the league.
- Raptors RealGM Forum re: Masai Ujiri - June 2023What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

That’s not what this is implying at all.
They just obviously value things above shooting. A guy who can defend and play make but also shoot would be 100% a raptors pick

He's a 6'7 240 lbs dude, i didn't expect such a heavy guy be so fluid handling the ball.

But his development has been unreal. If he can continue on the same development curve the next two summers, he’s an NBA player.
