I see 6/6/5/6/6

We have a history with making strength wings better in our franchise: Kawhi, OG, Scottie, RJ and now CMBomb.

So it makes total sense that we drafted one with a high floor and ceiling when we had the chance.

There is no player archetype I trust this franchise more with (the scrappy, cerebral, grifter, point guard type is a close second)

He's playing injured right now (visibly limping at the end of plays) and has to figure out the league rules and the team schemes.

That is going to take months but not years with this kid because he's really smart.

He's got the type of NBA body and mind to make a 2way impact. His screens, passes and drives will create advantages.

I expect him to start impact winning by the back half of the season as long as he's healthy.

Darko and his staff don't get enough credit for their ability to develop players.

Shead is from my part of Texas so I followed him at Houston and he was uncomfortable shooting college threes his entire college career. Now look at him!

The only way to explain this is the Raptors staff helping not only with technique but with confidence.

Give them a year with CMB and watch what happens! His floor is a high end role player who has a shot to make All-Defensive teams.

If the shot comes around, he could become the best player on this team in his prime. I think seeing Scottie's numbers go backwards as a creator this year left us all with a bad taste in our mouths. CMB has had to carry an offense in college, just like Ja'Kobe did. He has a chance to succeed in a way that Scottie has struggled at. They are different players.

He already won me over with how he's busted his tail on a bad Gamecocks team where he had to do everything.

I believe the shooting will come around but even if it doesn't this kid is going to do all the dirty work to help the team win every night.

His processing is almost as fast as Scottie's so I'm predicting some chemistry there. Seeing CMB impact the game with his screens at his size might inspire Scottie to start screening more too when he sees how much it helps the team (I might be dreaming though).

Toronto is going to love him!

The big selling point with this kid is his innate level of basketball IQ and court awareness overall. He's going to be a coach's dream.

Gonna be a fan favourite very quickly. Future DPOY like potential

Really liked what I've seen from him so far he's gonna make his way onto the court in big games for us next year with his defense.

He's taken Chloe Kitts name already?

His shot looks better than Scottie's. Just needs tens of thousands of reps.

Scottie can be our Draymond. CMB will be our Kawhi.

We need him to be a great shooter considering our existing long term contracts. We can't play him and Poeltl together otherwise. Out of all the prospects in our draft range he definitely has the most developable shot.

This guy gets it

The only thing I will nitpick is game winner over poster lol

I wonder if he can use his defencive footwork of his shot.

Instead of a simple catch a shoot,
Maybe he can slide into the catch.

So I was pretty down on this pick when we made it. Since then, I've been warming up to the selection considerably. He's pretty sturdy, quickness looks good, has excellent defensive instincts and great reach. Love what he brings. Even in a fairly weak outcome, it appears he has the tools to be a solid roleplayer, and obviously his upside is considerably better than that.

Should be fun to watch what he can do as the season hits, many moons from now.

It's fair to say he's not the pick most of us wanted this year. But as far as a number 9 pick, he looks to be a good selection with some obvious potential. Watching him play you can imagine he was hard to resist for this front office.

looking at him, it's tough to believe he's 240lbs
