LMAO. Way to cherry pick.

Top 10. (as of March 15th)

15.8 ppg, 6.0rb, 6.3 apg
15.8 ppg, 4.1 rb, 2.5 apg (shooting 39% )
12.8ppg, 2.3 rg, 2.4apg
12.5ppg, 3.5rg, 5.2apg
11.8ppg, 6.0 rg
10ppg, 3.9rpg, 1.1ast
9.9ppg, 5.3rb, 1.6ast
10.2ppg, 4.7rb, 1.3ast
9.5 ppg, 2.8 rb, 1.3ast
7.2ppg, 4.2rb

Top 10. Out of 60 (actually 61- you'll see). imagine your 10th pick in the draft gives you as much as TD in his first year
4 of these players were top 10 picks. 5 in total were lottery picks. 5 were outside of the lottery. One is undrafted, another picked at 52, and another at 30. Yeah that's a weak draft. Glad we didn't tank last year like some wanted.

How is TD looking this year?

These are 19 and 20 year olds who have had varying degrees of success, but virtually all of them have shown incredible potential. If you don't think any of the top 5 prospects from that draft wouldn't be difference makers for the Raptors going forward I don't know what to tell you.

There shouldn't even be a comparison with an undrafted player. I personally don't think first year results say much about how good of a draft year is. But if I have to, looking at that top 10 compared to other years this is pretty gross.

1) Cade
2) Suggs
3) Kuminga
4) Mobley
5) Green

I'm very intrigued by Mobley though. He seems to fit everything you want out of a modern big man. The issue is that big men do develop a lot slower typically. I think he can be useful right away, but in terms of making an impact right away I'd imagine he is at the bottom of the top 5.

1. Cade
2. Suggs
3. Green
4. Mobley

I think I'd put Green and Mobley ahead of Kuminga personally. Might change my mind closer to draft day, but I have the other 4 as the top guys for now. Kuminga looks like he'll be more raw than Mobley from the get. I've had a feeling for months that Suggs ends up being the best player from this class, but I need to watch them more to develop a more informed opinion.

Might have to buy a Donovan Mitchell jersey

Last year a L like that would kill my buzz but this just brings us closer to a lotto pick

We own the tie breaker so we got the 7th pick if the season ended tonight.

If Lowry gets traded this season is a wrap. Notice how lost we were when Fred was running point and how good we looked literally the instant Lowry came in during the 4th? :lol:

We in Jalen Johnson territory

Slowly creeping toward top 5. Let's get it!! Trade Lowry and Norm now.

Lowry has to be traded at this point. No reason of holding onto the guy to end up 9th in the east...

Masai has made trades when the team was at breaking points a few times, he has to do something this week. Hopefully he evaluated enough.

The only sane thing to do is trade Lowry (Norm too but they ain't doing that). Getting a center so we can get the 9th seed to get a chance at the play in tournament ain't it.

masai doesnt need to do anything tbh this team is already in the lottery and edging up the draft by the day

Which one of you offered Jobu rum with 1:24 left in the game when we had a 5 point lead?

Well done!

At 10-13 where do you stand now?
