From potentially having no pick in this draft earlier this year to restocking the cupboard with prospects to develop. I think they did a good job

Easily an A+.

Walters was a projected top 5 pick at the start of the season before he injured his knee. The splits in November and December look amazing. He could be a top 3 option on a championship team in his prime.

Mogbo is rapidly improving, a part of Barnes entourage, led the NCAA in dunks, and was showing great shooting in his workouts. He could be an immediate contributor next season if he makes another skill related jump.

We got Mitchell and Shead from the Kings for a guy we wanted to waive. This solidifies our back up PG position for the future.

We got Chomche, our future stretch big, he's only 18 and turning 19 in December. He has insane mobility, switchable hips, and he is willing to shoot the 3.

Chomche
Mogbo
Dick - Agbaji
Walter
Shead

The summer league team is going to look very loaded.

A for the players chosen, ridiculous haul and the FO fully leveraged a draft that was weak in top-end talent but offered strong potential right through to 60. Raps got different archetypes covered: Walter is a hooper 2/3 and ex top HS recruit, Mogbo is a physical 4 with absurd rebounding rate and passing metrics for a big, Shead was one of the best defensive PGs in the NCAA and a big reason the Cougars were so dangerous, and Chomche is the raw, high ceiling prospect with gifted physical tools

A+ if you include the trade executed on Day 2. Flipping Jalen (lol) for a PAIR of 2nds, a POA defender off the bench and a big shooter is just great value.

I voted B+ but didn't realize about getting Chomche. That for sure bumps it up to an A. Great draft.

We got rid of McDaniels. Everything else was gravy.

In all seriousness, it seems like we made out pretty well. I'm glad we got a cohort that can bond and develop together.

We have more future trade assets than from when we started, and another early 2nd round pick in next years draft.

Nothing excuses the Yak trade but they are slowly digging their way out.

We also still have our 1st round pick for 2025, and that's not owned to the Spurs at least.

An A from me. Loved all our picks and I'm excited about the direction of the team. They nailed this draft. Just gotta hope for some trades now.

Definitely an A+ for Raptor fan dopamine levels

We added 6 players in 24 hours and removed our most hated

Did we get a lot better? Meh Im not so sure

JaKobe was a BPA type pick. 3+D. Adds movement shooting.
Mogbo adds another wing who defend and distribute. Essentially can pick up when Scottie goes to the bench. Doesn't hurt to draft Scottie's boy.
The Jalen McDaniels trade had to be an A by itself. Can't believe we actually got players PLUS a pick for him.
D Mitchell and J Shead finally addresses our back up PG hole. Both with defensive prowess as well.
Sasha Vezenkov adds another wing. He shoots right?
Ulrich Chomche gives us big, albeit huge project. But we're rebuilding so it is what it is.

We filled a lot of needs in a weak draft.

A+

Ok with 1st round. A bit less so with 31st. Meh with 45th and intrigued by 57th.

I'd say right now, feel like somewhere between B- and C+ because it feels somewhat like they might just be throwing enough dough at the wall hoping something sticks. Would rather not start the year with 4 rookies on the team.

Give Masai and Bobby their flowers. This has bench-mob 2.0 vibes.
Everybody is losing their freaking minds. Nutbars and wingnuts have infested this forum. We've become a public lavatory without cleaning staff.

Easily A+

Masai Ujiri is so back, that he may not have even left in the first place.

Walter+Mogbo+Shead+Chomche is an insane haul for where each was picked.
My Masai/Bobby-type FRP Barttorvik queries: 4/4, zero misses

It went from a C+ to a B- for me. Not the sexiest draft but could be a good bench talent build if the players pan out.

A-

I’m loving being a Raptor (obsessed) fan again

Love watching this team grow after the last 3 seasons

Took a while longer than I would have liked but turning the page in December best thing that they could have done

Return to Toronto Raptors
