But he’s half a second too slow running from one cone to the other!

I'm really surprised the Raptors passed on Jakucionis. He'd be nice on Houston or Portland, though.

"Best offensive player in this class day 1"

People are seriously losing their minds. He wasn't the best offensive player on his college team...

This guy will be a role player. We could have traded back got assets and still drafted him. He's not the 4th best player in this draft with all due respect.

We don’t know this at all. He easily could have gone 5 as Utah was reportedly high on him

What is your pro comp for this kid I'm interested to see what kind of player you view him as?

Yeah I dunno about that best offensive player comment. That guy may want to sit that comment out. Or sit out period for a while.

I love the pick though.

We got possibly the best shooter and passer in the draft and you guys are going insane because his arms are two inches too short

Yep, pretty much zero chance he isn't at LEAST useful in the rotation on any playoff team and could likely excel in end games for years. The spacing and ball management with Melo-Kon-miller-bridges is gonna be nice.

Idk, I spend next to zero time trying to figure out “pro comparisons” as it’s just easy to crunch analysis. I just watch the games man idk

It’s just funny how we’re always so bad and yall were twerking for guys who put up empty stats on teams that didn’t win

He had more than double the assist rate of the guy you claimed was the best passer in the draft.

If Queen is still there soon I’d totally trade up and grab him.

JustBuzzin · Post #1035 » by **JustBuzzin** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 1:16 am

We have to have a impact trade before the end of the night.

We literally have no defense in our starting lineup besides Mark and he's not even considered a defensive big.

Lamelo/Kon/Miller/Bridges/Mark is just not a good mix.

You view him as a 4 or 5?

Happy trails Mark!

No, I need us to be as disillusional about this pick as possible. Give me those Luka comparisons. Dumbass Flagg was holding our dude back this whole time.

I think I'm done with this franchise seriously...
