That steal and 3 pt shot proves Cade has the clutch gene.

Another steal for Cade! He gets it done on both ends.

Anderson is low IQ so you see moments like this game where he tries to do too much and doesn’t get the ball to Cade in crucial moments. Forces up shots and layups.

Cade's teammates' talent level was seriously lacking.

I think Kuminga will go in a way under the radar and MAY actually turn out to be the best player.

The kid scored at pretty much the same clip as Green but much better and much more versatile defensively, better passer, rebounder etc and of course you know Masai love his Giants of Africa.

Personally my dream pick is Cade or Kuminga, with Green just behind them.

I like Evan's great physical gifts but just don't see Mobley being skilled enough to be a 1st option offensively and takeover a game that to me if you draft him, you're gonna still eventually search for a leader of your franchise. Suggs has so many intangibles, overall a great player that looks like a seemless fit from a skillet, personality perspective that imo embodies everything Raps seem to love in players that he would fill in the void Lowry leaves and eventually then some. He just screams Brandon Roy 2.0 to me and will beloved by whatever franchise drafts him that I'm not personally 100% sure that I like Mobley that much more than him.

Not specifically on the TWO bandwagon but just end this current team. It's not working.

I wanna see trades at the deadline.

Kuminga did not score better or even close to Green did. He was wildly inefficient. Green is an elite 3 level scorer already he easily has the biggest go to potential in the draft. I don't disagree on the other stuff because I myself have said the same about his overall potential but as of right now kuminga is the biggest project

The Raps are missing a guy who can develop into a true number 1 option on offense and I don't see Kuminga evolving into that guy. I think he'd fit better on another team, seems like he's got a lot of similarities to Siakam.

If we land a top 4 pick any of those guys would be a nice fit, but only Suggs, Cade and Green have true number 1 option potential.

Vanvleet
Suggs/Green/Cade
Anunoby
Siakam


That's a pretty exciting core. If we trade Lowry & Powell for quality rotation pieces/prospects the team would have a high ceiling again.

What do you guys think about Kai Jones if we don’t move up in the draft at all?

He had that Siakam-like ability to contort his body when he’s slicing through traffic, can shoot it a bit, super athletic etc. Hasn’t been playing ball that long either.
