This kid has "it"... He makes every Raptors game must watch TV... IMO he's our best player... The way he impacts the game defensively and offensively, plus his versatility... it's unmatched.

I crack a small smile every time they don't call those BS fouls anymore.

Trent will be fine. Very small sample for him.

Svi looks like a steal though.

Lakers starting lineup with a combined 72 seasons of NBA experience tonight... :jawdrop:

Might be a record.

ya Svi looks to be an amazing pick up. no wonder he got a guaranteed deal right out of FA and not one of those partially guaranteed deals like the 6 guys who are fighting for 3 spots lol

He’s not the Raps best player. He’s at best, 4th.

He looks great but we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. His shooting is still WIP and will be a season long issue. And while his defense looks great, OG, Pascal and FVV are also very good defenders. Great passer though. Probably the best on the team already.

He has a ton of potential though. I have zero issue that we took ahead of Suggs. Wasn’t so sure on draft night.

I'm so disappointed if (of) Davis is not in the MVP picture this year. He has 3 elite passers in his team looking and pushing him to score. On most times 2 of such players on floor with him.

Hearing Klay is going through his drills at 100% is super encouraging. Klay for Christmas is the goal.
