I said Jak for the potential. But honestly I could see Queen or Bryant as well. Or some random guy we've never heard of.

I think it’s Jak or Essengue.

Or even an option to trade the pick, which is Masais real preference.

I'd say Jakucionis would be the pick here.

Think they would go with either Jakucionis/CMB/Queen here. Honourable mentions to Jase Richardson and Asa Newell, but their stocks have been plummeting since the combine.

This is worst case scenario for us. I would look to trade down. I think Traore is as good as any of these guys and will be available much later. If forced to choose, it's probably Queen or Bryant. One would leave me with headaches worrying about whether he can hang defensively/athletically, and with the other I'd be worried I drafted an Ochai clone (albeit a bigger one) with no obvious path to minutes...

I’d develop Essengue

Demin with a developed shot and strengthened body would be interesting too

CMB would be good if I thought he could develop his shot and perimeter game, but I don’t like his form and fluidity there.

Not interested in low ceiling players at the mkment, I’d trade down or trade out (Giannis) if we’re just considering 3+D prospects.

Unpopular opinion but I went Demin here. Masai has been looking for a jumbo PG for ages and I think Demin could slot in and be a real asset to the second unit from the get go

We'll draft Fleming a little later. :nod:

Orlando likely dumps Gary Harris. They are close to competing. Give them Dick or Ochai for #16 to draft Fleming. :nod:

Carter Bryant.

He has all the intangibles to not only maximize his potential, fit very much in line with the types of players we’ve loved before (ie/ OG although I believe Carter has more offensive potential) but a seamless fit into the Raptors culture as a person/personality.

Masai and Bobby both mentioned that we would be looking for “2 way players”, that’s not Kasp and that’s not really Kon either although slightly better….nor is that Essengue who is also a poor shooter and master of none.

If Maluach is gone or unless we trade the pick, I’m fairly confident we’ll end up taking one of Bryant or possibly Coward.

Have to go with Essengue. I think he has the highest upside & a decent enough floor.

Could be a star. If not, he will still be a useful player & serves a positiom of need.

Checks all the boxes for me. The fact that he is European/ French is also a plus.
