With JJ gone I hope Bolden is seriously considered very similar players except Bolden is so much more developed

I was watching the raptors Instagram story. Justin Jackson was bricking all his 3s pretty badly lol. Smart to stay in school

Is semi 6'5? Some places are reporting that he's 6'7. He's one of my potential picks for 23

6"5 without shoes but 6'7 with shoes

That Casey gif never gets old :lol:

But sucks that a potential shooting SF is not available for us. Oh well get better at Maryland young blood.

I would actually prefer Bolden....he has the speed advantage whereas Jackson is the stronger of the two.

Not sure who Bolden is but I really like Josh Hart. He's an absolute steal in the second round

Looks like the next draft workout is next Tuesday per Blake Murphy

A combo guard without an elite physical attribute or skill?! Sorry I'm not seeing it. I've seen his potential impact being likened to Brogdon but MB was known as an elite defender in college, Hart is not. Don't get me wrong I can see him being a solid enough rotation player but nothing where I where I would think he would be a player I felt was a big steal.

Really hoping he stays under the radar and that Masai has his eye on him.

He looks like a great player with unique skills and size combo

I like him but the ask in return would be enormous! The Nuggets acquired a 1st rounder for Aaron Afflalo from Portland who was an expiring in regression so imagine what they'd want for Barton.

Yes, Barton would be expensive.

Maybe Masai can work some magic. They need a C, we've got three of them under contract. Barton is behind Harris and Murray on their depth chart.

BeBe and Barton make about the same amount. Maybe something could be worked out? Toss in a 2nd or even Bruno?

Or if Ibaka doesn't sign, maybe a JV for Faried and Barton deal could happen.

Just saying', he is in his prime and getting no burn in Denver.

I was thinking Denver as a possible destination for one of our Cs, but doesn't Denver have Mason Plumlee there? And they traded Nurkic, who is kind of in the same mold as Valanciunas. I think Bebe could work there, though.

If you get a second rounder that can play NBA minutes on the regular IS a steal. Doesn't have to be a starter or a star to be considered a steal.

Jokic also plays a lot better when he's center rather than being the PF.

Has anyone here heard of Peter Jok? Hes 23 but also has a pure Shot something the Raps need...I would love to get this guy if he doesnt get drafted....905 would be a good place for him...

Would be a good shooter off the bench hows his defense? Heslip could fill that role too

I'm with you on Diallo if his shooting form has improve. It looked pretty ugly in video of him in high school.
Jeanne I could live with.
Giles is a hell no for me. 2 major surgeries in his knees(one in each knee) is too much.
