This guy is worthy of a gamble. 4th senior. BPM 9.7 3PT 35%

His passing is really good, good decision maker, runs different actions as a PG.

If Nembhard is gone, very good alternative option

You wanna go 3rd PG / I want a big big

Lol his agent is wild. Ace seems like a good kid with an exciting personality but he has a bad rep because of his team.

He’s an idiot.

The Nets did the same thing at 20 that landed Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen, Nic Claxton, Cam Thomas and DayRon Sharpe.

We know how to scout very well. We got James Harden with those guys for a reason.

I am stuck on Jamir Watkins. I really like the fit on Toronto and as I have said before he is this year's Terrence Shannon. Some playoff team will love this guys defense and driving ability. He is a chaos maker:

6-foot-6 with a 6-11 wingspan
• 18.4 PTS
• 5.7 REB
• 2.4 AST
• 42.7/32.1/74.7 splits
• Averaged 20/5/2 against top 50 competition

68% TS 76% FTR in transition
52% TS 55% FTR in halfcourt

He's got a mid-range game too. I think he is an absolute dog on both ends. He is older so I think he will be available. I do put Sion James a close second.

Like I said...when you choose Sharife Cooper's dad to be your agent and to get you where you need to be...consider that Omar Cooper couldn't even get his own son to stick on an NBA roster. Probably not a good sign for an agent or parent.

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

If they had CMB in the ~top 5-6 on their board, the expected value of staying put is higher than getting that pick.

I don't think this is an expiring contract/under pressure thing at all. In fact, if he was feeling pressure, he would have done the trade and gotten the asset so he can flip it in a win now move. Or he would have gone for fit instead of BPA at the 9.

sure they need a back up big, but i don't think they'll draft one even if I want one.

My picks Kalkbrenner, Amari Williams.

Lol

"No one said anything when Davion Mitchell canceled a workout with the Toronto Raptors. No one criticized Evan Mobley when he didn't work out for Cleveland, and they drafted him anyway."

76ers, since he'd be behind Maxey and Embiid (if healthy), not to mention Wayoff P.

So much drama around this guy, and he hasn't even stepped on a court yet.

TimeForChange · Post #1277 » by **TimeForChange** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 10:13 pm

if the raps don't end up with Nembhard (I think they might already have a deal to sign him as an UDFA), then they should go after the big Aussie kid Zikarsky.

I have basically zero expectations for who they'd select at 39 (I doubt they're moving up/down but who knows).

Ideally i'd like Rasheer Fleming, Ryan Kalkbrenner or Maxime Raynaud but there's not really anyone i'm against getting aside from Ryan Nembhard (Too small, can't shoot and no I don't buy this recent season given the decreased volume).

Which I suppose means an early congratulations to Andy's brother on being drafted to the Raptors.

Brinbe · Post #1280 » by **Brinbe** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 10:21 pm

think most of the big touted names left on the board like fleming, raynaud, kalk, penda will be gone by 39 unless they trade up, so will be interesting what direction they go in.

if they keep picking according to type
