Predicted Lamelo would win ROY in the preseason.

Raptors rookie Jalen Harris #59 pick in the previous years draft dropped 31 last night. Kid has been an absolute gem for our g league affiliated this season dropping 17 a night on 46 % from the field and 42% from 3. Since he started getting minutes about 6 games ago he is averaging 14.5 PPG. Kid is a pure scorer, and has many Raptors fans excited.

Okongwu's minutes have taken a hit with all the must win games the Hawks have been playing in May.

11.7 Minutes per game. 5.6 Points, 3.6 Rebounds, .4 Steals, .4 blocks, .708 FG%, .714 FT%, No threes attempted.
Per 36 that is roughly:
16.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.2 Steals, and 1.2 Blocks

I think he has a future but the path is going to be a slow one. I'd like to see him go to work on that three point shot in the off season. His free throw shot is fluid so hopefully he can at least be average one day from downtown.

Whats up with our poster boy? Didnt even play the 4th quarter and overtime vs the knicks

What are the guesses for 1st and 2nd team?

I think Edwards, Ball, and Haliburton are first team locks. Probably Bey and Tate round it out.

For second team I'm thinking Stewart, Okoro, Bane, Quickly, and Anthony.

He was trash as ****. -21 in 21 mins in an OT game.

Hornets came back into the game with Graham, they rode him until the end.

I've heard talks about a ton of players around here.

Never once, I don't remember seeing Kenyon Martin Jr. The only thing he lacks in is games played, he would've made it otherwise at least on the 2nd team.

He's putting up 19/9/3/1/1 in May on 66% TS(46% on 3's on 5 attempts) and his name wasn't even mentioned once in this thread.

The Raptors have done it again with Flynn and Harris. Drafted two studs with their late draft picks.

Lamelo has low key been ass since his return. The injury ultimately won't be what loses him ROY it's gonna be this stretch.

Overall this draft class has been very solid...actually impressive. Especially when you consider all that has happened in 2020 and 2021. In my opinion, there are easily a minimum of 10 players in this class who will probably be stars.

No draft has ever had 10 stars, but this class went from "weakest since 2000" to "Is it one of the better drafts in the past decade?"

Lots of talent in this draft, still have to see how good Wiseman can be as well as Ant, Melo, Haliburton, etc.

I'm not being a hater, but I don't see Haliburton much better than his current version, maybe a bump in stats, but that's about it. Will be a very good starter in this league, I don't see the star, though.

Shooting around 40%fg and under 30% from 3pt while still shooting a ton and turning the ball over a lot. It's more what I expected from him coming out of the draft.

We'll get a pretty good spotlight shone on him in the playoffs. I think it will be interesting.

If Lamelo can have 2 great games and get his team into the post season, his bad games since his return won't matter, he'll get ROY off these last 2 even though Ant has finished the season really strong

Last 10 for Ant - 24.4 ppg / 7.2rpg / 4.1 apg / .9 blocks / 1.2 stl / 3.0 TO on 50%FG | 36% 3PT | 67% FT

His numbers after the all-star break have been pretty ridiculous as well

I disagree. ANT 100% deserves ROY. Those that don't watch this kid play don't understand how good he really is and he still has so much potential. First half of the year he had no teammates due to injury and a high school head coach (at best!). ANT is the real deal people.
