Definitely saving this post. Could end up being a classic.
Could be epic either way.
Who do you like in this draft? You're taking Chet #1 overall?
I don't have a horse in this race (Raps selecting #33 overall), and I don't follow the teams who do closely enough to know what they want, but I do know that unqualified predictions are often way off base, and this draft doesn't have a consensus #1 pick. If the Raptors had #1, I'd probably think Smith is the best fit, but as anyone who has followed Masai Ujuri's draft choices knows, there are a whole bunch of other intangibles that a high pick needs to fulfill (esp. defence) to meet his criteria. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if the Raps would have picked Keegan Murray first overall.
