NBA Draft Discussion Part 10

I heard it discuss on various draft podcasts that the Raptors had strong interest in Wolf though I think that was always part of a trade down scenario.

I know we’re probably going big man here, but Javon Smalls is a guy who really intrigues me.

Apparently Dumars called us for #9 to get Queen

I feel like if Masai wasn't on an expiring contract/under pressure to deliver results this year he would've took the deal for NOP's 1st next year

Man Masai should've taken that, anyway, if it was offered. Raps must've really wanted Murray-Boyles.

That is an interesting player. I haven't really dug too deep into him but he might be a sleeper.

I’ve had my eye on him for a bit now. Cashiggy just posted some of his game clips. Definitely worth a watch.

Taking that offer from 9 is a bit different from 13 as I believe there is a tier difference there. If you believe in the quality of Murray Boyles, it is not worth getting a fundamentally lesser prospect at 23. I also think it is possible that Dumars hard on for Queen was growing more and more painful and that he may have actually been raising his offer at the same time the distance he was moving up was decreasing.
