The kid is still so long away from learning how to play the game properly. Give him some time next year he will be the same age as some College freshmen so thats about where I view his development

Going into next season, hopefully he works out and with the added strength to get defensive rebounds he should already be a competent defender. The offense looks 3-4 years away but that's okay as a bench big until then.

With that said, his offense looks only 1 year away from Orlando Robinson. :lol:

For a high school senior playing in the pros, he's coming along nicely.

I'm optimistic on him.

Yeah I view him as a 2026 draft choice...lol.

905 again next year for sure....then see if he can be a Raptor in 2026/27.

Just think, in 2 years he will the same age as Gradey is this year. And hey, in 5.5 years he will be Branden Carlsons age....lol. Lots of development time ahead.

Lots of control too

They can sign him to a standard deal post-trade deadline next year, like Battle this season.

Then he'll be a restricted FA after 2 or 3 years on a minimum.

Probably exactly what will happen with him

Yup, but a good one.

It is exciting to see the team taking the long term approach, building up 905 assets and seeing what they can become.

Any news? Is he back on the court, or still rehabing?

curious what he's been doing from the moment he was injured and considered done for the season; have they been helping him learn plays? soak in professional practice experience? schooling? BBIQ I think is the hardest skill to truly develop and in some cases has a ceiling because there's only so much you can apply if you just don't possess the capacity to process information quick

Should we take the Raptors not drafting a centre as a vote of confidence in Ulrich Chomche?

No, I don’t think so. While they still expect Chomche to be a player — we asked Webster about him directly the other night and he said he’s coming along just at the pace the Raptors expected — but they’ll find a few-minutes-a-night guy in free agency or at the Summer League.

I feel we're at the stage of the offseason where there's a post pump photo of him having just worked out at the gym.
