Battle is just a good player man. Not sure how he doesn’t get more run.

We always end up with the sucky brother of a good player.

Olivier Sarr instead of Alex
Ron Harper Jr. instead of Dylan
Alex Antetekoumpo instead of Giannis
Jalen McDaniels instead of Jaden

He's in Washington and yes he had a pretty solid rookie campaign. I believe in him tbh. Showed a lot of promise.

He might overtake Gradey rather fast.

That's because we don't prioritize skill when drafting, we like guys who play hard and defend

Yeah, we hate guys that can shoot, pass or dribble.

I think we just brought him in so he can set screens in practice.

Draft position. Sunk cost fallacy at work. Battle will end up having a long career and carve out a decent role for himself, sadly on another team.

Couldn’t agree more. Been saying for years that it’s easier to motivate an offensive leaning player to give more effort defensively (as long as they have the tools) than it is to create efficient offense out of defensive players

As per usual it’s preseason. Not all that worried about IQ and Barnes aside from being overpaid, particularly Scottie. CMB with a quiet showing, I’m still skeptical his disruptive defence is going to translate. Not concerned about his offense at this time.

Gradey was a train wreck and is still a concern as last season post November.

RJ was great, bad free throws as usual. He’s the best option we have right now so is what it is.

3 for 17. That last group on the floor might be instant something, but it ain't offense.

Game over

We need some offense

SFour · Post #815 » by **SFour** » Tue Oct 7, 2025 4:46 am

subpar 3pt shooting % and FT%.....not going to win many games with those percentages

TakeYourHeart · Post #816 » by **TakeYourHeart** » Tue Oct 7, 2025 4:47 am

New guys (BI, Sandro, CMB) look great. The sooner Scottie accepts that he's the 4th option, role player on offense the better. Set screens, offensive rebound etc.

Charles Hepburn can't shoot

Next David Johnson. He'll be out of the league soon.

We’re a work in progress but it’s just good to have Raptors basketball back
