Bruce Brown was right, this was an interesting week

18 y old Cameroonian man-child, he will grow and get bigger won't surprise me if he is 7 foot plus and 260+ lbs by the time he's 20. Absolute homerun of a pick by Masai, low risk high reward player.

Not sure how anyone can complain about this pick. We got an intriguing young talent (the youngest guy in the draft), basically for nothing. Unlike Bruno, we have the system in place now to develop him properly, and he won't be rushed onto our roster with Kelly and Yak already ahead of him on the depth chart.

Having no top 10 pick and starting a rebuild nothing wrong with aiming high, from what I can tell alot of top notch altheticism with good upside.

Hell even with this guy good size and ability to shoot, only 18, why not.

I'm hoping he pans out so we can see a bust like Bronny drafted just before him in the history books

Great pick at 57. If he’s a bust who cares. But if he hits? HOOO MAN!!!

Love this pick. High upside potential, stash overseas, or with 905. This generations' Bruno!

Cant hate this.. we are in the right position to swing on a project big. Thought we would do it at 31, 45.

57 even better.

This pick was so obvious, anyone on this board could have guessed Raps walk out of this draft with Chomche.

The difference is they were talking about 1st round picks with guaranteed contracts. 2nd rounders with partial guarantees are totally different

Yeah, because we've had tons of success with 2nd round picks in recent years. 2nd round picks silently comes and goes. Disappears without much of a trace. I mean, I hope a few of these guys develop into long-term pieces but I don't have high hopes because you might lose focus if there are too many guys you are trying to develop at once.

Again that would be the case trying to develop 1st round picks with guaranteed money & guaranteed roster spots. I'd much rather throw a bunch of darts of the board with 2nd rounders in a flat draft like this. If one or 2 of them hits then you win. If they don't, you didn't spend much other than 2nd round picks that you already deemed as shots in the dark.

Awwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeaaahhhh!!! LOL

It was DESTINED....me & Psubs been on this wagon lol

I think we both kept saying this dude is almost guaranteed to be a Raptor.

The hilarious part is this might be my favorite pick out of all of them lol I'm NOT saying he will be the best. But to me it feels like the best value of any of our picks. He probably won't be ready for at least another year & a half but I got faith that he will eventually pan out. This has the upside to be a HUGE STEAL.

While I did have my preferences at each pick, all in all, it turned out to be a decent draft, I like the players we brought in.

Bruno 2.0 activated.

FOH

"Bruno 2.0"...don't be a hater!!

Bruno was damn near braindead on the court, at bare minimum Chomche has good shot blocking instincts.

More nepotism?

Lebron/Lakers and Bronny....or Musai and Africa?

LMAO you just knew this guy was going to be a Raptor.

Hoooo man just heard we got this kid. Masai got his Cameroonian beast down low.

Based on his highlights, a guy with his size, athleticism and skill set and potential has to be a horrible basketball player in order to drop this far in a supposedly weak draft…

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but our 2nd rounder have been pretty solid actually
