It’s definitely interesting that Spinella sees both Green and Mobley going before Suggs but he still has Suggs as his #2 prospect.

He seems to be quite high on Suggs and even higher on the potential for him to go to the Raptors!

If Mobley could ever bulk up though…


Would you say Ayton is more Charles Bassey than Evan Mobley?

Really hope, Suggs, FVV and Flynn are seeing how important it is to master the mid range jump shot and floaters.

It’s been so crucial these playoffs

Mobley totally different player than Ayton but we still need a scoring 5 with a defensive presence. BADLY

I’m not high on him at all but I won’t lie, i think our organization can do wonders with Wiseman as a development project. He’s got the size and perfect build. Just needs to be molded and nurtured

Thoughts?

Should The Raptors Draft Best Available Player Or Positional Needs?

Has to be BPA at this high of a pick. Problem is Green, Mobley, and Suggs are all very high level prospects. Good thing is we pick 4th so the decision isn’t (shouldn’t be) difficult

It just so happens that Mobley is both.

BPA and Best Need = Mobley.

Raptors would obviously pick Mobley if it was between Suggs and him.

I personally think finding a franchise PG is significantly more important than finding a franchise center though.

All 3 in my opinion don't belong in the lottery and maybe not even in the top 25.


Joe Harris, with a pretty similar profile to Kispert, was drafted in the 20s. And flamed out in these playoffs. Is Kispert's agent now gonna try to position his client as Kevin Huerter-esque to bump up his draft stock? Huerter at least went in the teens. Does Kispert have any kind of handle or playmaking ability, comparable to what Huerter (shockingly) showed against the Sixers?

Mitchell I just despise on principle. My hatred may not be rational, but he just doesn't strike me as someone you draft until the 20s or 30s. Like a guard version of Paul Millsap.

Keon at least has upside. If he can show the beginnings of a sustainable J in try-outs, he'll go as high as he's usually mocked.

Mitchell is like Marcus Smart that can shoot. Also co-lead a team to the National Championship.

There is nothing to be gained from arguing about this now (unless Raps trade down or trade for extra lottery picks). Mitchell's pros and cons have been thoroughly covered in previous threads. I'm just expressing my gut instinct here.

Are top prospects usually this secretive about their draft prep/workouts? Aside from a few short instagram stories I've seen nothing from any of Cade/Mobley/Green/Suggs. I don't think they want anything out there risking the consensus top 4 that everyone seems to be in agreement on.



Give me something like this!

I know the ability to hit the midrange is soo underrated in this 3 point era
