Cockburn's free throw stroke is smooth with a feathery touch, his 67.7 ft% should be going up lots. he only played pickup basketball before the age of 16 in jamacia and was presumably developing many solo skills that might have otherwise been overlooked in a defined role on a team given his body.

Scrubb oozes skill but is a massive question mark obviously... he obviously needs a change of scenery and I think following in TD3's footsteps would be his best case scenario.
Dosunmu is a natural fit for this team and its needs, he seems to thrive when the stakes are higher

Whoa Cockburn is 7 ft 290!
Would rather take him at #58 than Azubuike at #28. Azubuike has played 4 years and hasn't shot over 45% from the FT line in any of them. Cockburn would be a project but might be Eddy Curry 2.0.

Naw, Cockburn is currently mainly being a lob target...Cockburn seems he can only go left on postup, and maybe need to polish much more his offensive game.
Will also need to understand their competition better to see their gap.

fair points, lob target indeed ... might be one of the Raptors best rim running option on fast breaks lol
could be like Pascal in growth potential given the similarities in their basketball experiences.
obviously competition is a concern, in part i believe that's why hes leaving after 1 year .. i also believe he wants an expanded role to include jumpers and 3s and is a better fit in the nba learning directly from vets
"He's very strong on the inside," Michigan coach Juwan Howard said. Very physical guy and one of the best offensive rebounders in NCAA basketball."

Naw, Cockburn is currently mainly being a lob target. Azubuike has a much better footwork and timing on things, where he probably puts 3 years of effort to refine his offensive skills. Cockburn seems he can only go left on postup, and maybe need to polish much more his offensive game.
From basic stats they maybe similar, but from their role, it seems to be different. Will also need to understand their competition better to see their gap, but I think Azubuike is much more ready being 3 years older as an early second round pick.

A quick Google search told me that Cockburn is older even though he's a freshman and Azubuike is a senior. Azubuike was born on September 17, 1999 and Cockburn was born on September 1, 1999. There is no comparison here, Azubuike would be the obvious choice. He also doesn't shrink against good competition. For someone who's supposed to be a lob threat Cockburn sure does have bad shooting games against ranked opponents, while Azubuike usually raises his level of play.

What don't you look about Riller? He looks good to me, has decent size, one of the quickest first steps in the draft, really skilled offensively. Could be a Dinwiddie-esque bench engine

3 level scoring guard, that is quick/athletic and puts pressure on the D in transition and PnR. He got better passing this past year. What I like is that he can operate well in PnR, and he’s a ultra hard worker (gym rat), so I can see him getting along well with the team.
