4 year project imo..with how the Raps have developed Chomche, I would have liked to see them develop Essengue. He needs to make increments in every single area of his game.

Facts I think hes gonna be good they gotta make his handle a top priority tho

You would think after you ragged on Scottie Barnee pre draft back in 2021, you'd learn to chill it with your outrageous takes.

viewtopic.php?t=2100608&start=1480#p92449331



And BTW you must have no clue, I had Maluach on my DND list. Go to sleep kid.


I'm not surprised he would say that about Scottie. Whoever we draft, he won't like it and he will choose someone drafted after to hype up. Two years ago it was Whitmore and we've seen how that's turned out.

I like Jase, I think he does a lot of things well. I don't like the fact he's an undersized SG with below average playmaking. He's also got a really poor steal rate. You can't ignore that shooting percentage though. The guy is super efficient.

I always liked CMB during the draft threads....I didn't always love him due to fit on the team....Which i always said....A guy who can't shoot with Barnes/Yak/Barrett is still questionable.....But thats the only knock i had on him.....I liked him as a individual player....So idk why you are making up false narratives based on nothing...

As for Dick ....I also liked the Dick and JaKobe picks....Never hated them at all....Dick was clearly BPA....But him vs Cam ....They are in the exact same tier as players....Both have flaws and weaknesses....

Everyone has different opinions on players on this board idk why you would be so much up my ass about who i like....Im sure you also liked players in the past or hate players in the past that make you look foolish today...We all have....

Just because i like Jase and think he was a steal for the Magic at 25....Doesn't mean i hate CMB....Lmao you Raptors Homers are all just sensitive just like Any media member who says anything about the Raptors team....Sensitive people man...You are allowed to like other teams, Players outside of Raptors and still post here.


You didn’t seem to like Gradey too much in his rookie season. When you go out of your way to criticize players on this team, don’t be upset when there is push back. Just because someone is trying to be objective (like with Whitmore in his rookie year when you claimed he was a star in the making) doesn’t make them a “homer.”

I never hated the pick or during his rookie season.....I had an argument about Cam Vs Dick and how people were saying Dick is leaps and bounds better than Cam....Which is still untrue statement to make....Dick has had way more chances to play than Cam has had due to Dick being on bad teams....Cam is now on a team where he should get some extended playing time which we will see how it goes for him....

But they both are in the same tier as players still....You can't say Dick is way better than Cam still because Dick also has flaws on the defensive end....They are also both way young in their careers to say one is better than the other..

Once again you are a sensitive fan who gets over sensitive if anyone criticizes or critiques any Raptor player.....Im sure if i look into past posts of you...Can't tell me you never had hot takes or said some things that make you look foolish today because i am sure you have....I am just not the type to go looking for it because its pointless to do because everyone on this forum does it....You are not some perfect person yourself...

You were **** posting about Wemby back in the day when i was saying he would be a generational player...See everyone makes bad takes includng yourself...

You are far more invested in this Whitmore/Gradey debate than I am. Look through that thread and look at all the incoherent essays you wrote. You were the one getting defensive. You couldn’t fathom how someone could say Whitmore has no feel for the game, is not a team player and has a ways to go. You have blinders on and are painfully stubborn.

What did I even say there that is controversial? People still have doubts about Wemby’s frame. I never doubted his talent level. Chet has also missed a lot of time so far in his career. I’ve had much worse takes than that but at least mine aren’t as frequent as yours. You can call me a homer but you’re on the opposite end and it’s resulted in you being frequently wrong.

In regards to CMB, you tried analyzing his body language to claim he was not happy to be drafted by Toronto. This is another example of you always trying to stir the pot. The funniest part is you analyzed his body language before he was even selected and tried to spin it as though he was referring to Toronto. You’ve also been far harsher on him after the draft than before it.

You also made some horrible OKC takes over the years, Hated on Chet/Jalen Williams/SGA....Hated on Banchero and said he won't be much in the NBA...OKC Just won a title with the players you were bashing btw. :lol:

Lets Not act like you havn't made some horrible basketball takes in your past here....You said FVV is better than SGA....I mean you just show blatant hate to any other teams players and only big up the ones on our team.....Thats the definition of a sensitive Homer....

Lmao Me being frequently wrong....You are wrong on so many topics its laughable you are saying other people are wrong ....Like i said everyone makes takes that look bad years later including yourself....So stop acting all high and mighty as if your takes are the end all be all...

"What did i even say there that is controversial" You said "Is Victor even a generational player....Lol he obviously is...Which i was saying during his draft class and you were constantly saying hes not that good...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I mean you hate on Canadian players at that....But will do anything to big up players just because they are on the Raptors...Again people can praise players outside of Raptorland here. I bet you were punching air when SGA won MVP, Title, FMVP in the same season...

Lol CMB body language went viral and again trying to act as if i was the only person that said that....Millions of canadians said that and attacked his IG with hate....It wasn't just me who questioned that on the board either....I still liked CMB as a player regardless and still do....

But anyways derailing the thread now. Cya

Yeah he definitely looks good. It would be funny if he ends up being more successful than Queen.

Kon is pretty damn good. Hard for me to get over his weird motor movements but he’s got that Luka type game for sure.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Pulling receipts online is a young mans game. I always think that when people do that. Not too long ago I considered myself a young man. **** times flies. Good job Clu... with the comeback. You stood your ground hehe. that said I don't like Jase on the Raptors. He's a great fit on Orlando.

Lol yeah i don't really look into what people say in the past on this board often because so many people are going to say stuff that looks dumb years later....So many wanted Skal for god sakes and look where he is now....I just don't like how Los always tries to belittle or make fun of posters takes in the past as if he never made all time horrible takes himself where he looks more foolish in some of his past takes on players than alot of the people he has a go at...

That being said I think i proved my point and the thread should go back to talking about the summer league....Jase looks fun and yeah i like him on the Magic as well....Also wouldn't have minded trying to trade for another pick before 25 to get him on our team....Always liked him in the draft threads and prolly would of went with him at 9th hoping to develop him as a PG....But im glad we got CMB who should play a good role for our bench unit....Just don't know how he would fit in with our starters atm...But he has lots of time.

Carter Bryant strikes again: 5pts (2/11, 0-3 3pt), 5 boards, 0 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers, 6 fouls, -11. 5 points on 11 shots! And yet, an improvement over the previous game's 0-7, 0-5.

I don't mean to pick on the guy, and his defense did look great in that last game, but boxscore lines like that would drive this board right over the edge. Glad he's someone else's project.
