General ranking

Top 5:
Cooper
Kasp
Ace
Dylan
Edgecombe

6-9:
Tre
Fears
Maluach (project)
CMB

10-14:
Traore
Newell
Sorber
Queen
Demin
other

I'd be ok with drafting any player in the top 5, but probably only interested in half of the remaining players.

I think there other interesting players at 16+ all the way to the 2nd round. Several players with strong role player potential and some who have star upside. Currently eyeing:

Labaron, Jase Richardson, Adou, Sergio de Larrea, Noah Penda, Bogoljub Marković, Neoklis Avdalas

I feel like there's gonna be at least a couple players in the late 1st/early 2nd that teams wish they drafted.

If you’re the GM that passes on Ace I know you’ll be sweating when summer league comes around and he has a 40pt game

Pains me to even post in this thread anymore cuz we’re gonna miss out on all the prized prospects.

We’ll be drafting a role player that’ll struggle to land minutes and will have to spend the next few years down in the g-league.

We’ll be mediocre for years to come.
Enjoy.

You forget next year with Dybantsa and Peterson

But the Raps will be too good already next season.

I have a strange feeling that no matter what, we are destined to land the 4th pick (Scottie vibes again) and Edgecomb is destined to be with us. Just watch. We’ll finish 7th last and jump to 4 again :>

Edgecomb Scottie defensive duo :pray:

and Cameron Boozer!

Will 2, top 3 picks in the next 2 drafts get Washington out of the gutter? Would they be in better shape than Detroit?

Maybe they become a 20-25 win team after getting a top 3 pick this year?

we will be even better next year than this year unless we get some bizarre injuries again or make some major trades to get worse. But maybe Pacers will somehow end up with a #4-6 pick (watch Masai trade it).

We got lucky trading Bender for AD. Would not trade it unless for a superstar or trade down for multiple picks.

Isn't the Indiana pick like top 10 protected or something?

Top 4 protected in 2026
Top 4 protected again in 2027 if not conveyed in 2026
If not conveyed in 2026 or 2027, Raptors get two 2nd rounders

oh definitely better than what I thought, good chance it's a mid pick next year and best case scenario it's 5-10

Really nice Ace game but I remain confounded at his lack of rim attempts.

Nah, we have an overload of Sags. If there’s any player I’m praying is at 4, it’s ironically (like Scottie) #4 himself Ace Bailey….and just pray the team before us fell in love with Kasp.

I think he might be a taller lankier Melo. I would think as he gets stronger he'd at least get to the rim as much as KD.

That's the way soldier, of team mid
