Mobley is the best big prospect since AD, easily Mobley. Considering the Cavs probably pick him, I'd go with next BPA and pick Suggs.

I'll go with the potential generational talent in Mobley all day.

Don’t matter. Getting the fourth pick was the real victory

Suggs

https://www.raptorsrepublic.com/2021/07/28/the-raptors-have-a-very-easy-decision-to-make-with-the-4th-pick/
Jalen Suggs is a top four player in this draft, and so he should be selected in the top four, plain and simple. On my personal board, he is ranked as the third best prospect behind Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley. The Raptors would be selecting a point guard who would seamlessly lead a new era after Kyle Lowry, would be a starting level player from day one, and who the Raptors would be able to remain in control of for a decade at minimum. At 6’4, he would allow for even more versatile lineup construction and shows enough upside offensively that the Raptors should be comfortable developing him as a scoring option.

I would argue that those who believe Suggs is a “high floor/low ceiling” prospect are incorrect. “High floor/high ceiling” is more fair. When looking at his physical measurements, athleticism, all-around game, room for growth, winning playstyle, and work ethic, it seems plainly obvious that Suggs has room for several all star selections in his career if given the opportunity to produce… which he should get, especially due to the situation that he’d be entering in Toronto.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Seth Greenberg was on Fan590 this afternoon, said Suggs would be his first choice overall. Tough, talented, compared him to Jason Kidd. He is ONLY 19. Now the panel on NBA TV saying there are really four #1 picks at the top of the draft and they'd be shocked if those four are not first 4. I am more sold on Suggs all the time, and so worried we'll do some sideways out of the box move like passing on Suggs for an unfinished player.

Anyway, both should pan out pretty well. The only concern I have with Suggs is he played at Gonzaga and that's one of those programs that shows players better than they are over the past, and they didn't really have many tight games, so I just can't tell as much.

I'm betting they take Barnes or trade down.


Welcome Scottie Barnes!

Our defense gets even better and it's really no surprise that's what the raptors valued, and quickness. Well.. shouldn't be a surprise at least.

I would have liked Mobley over Suggs and barnes over Suggs as well.

Did anyone else notice how excited Suggs looked when Barnes got picked by Toronto? He pumped his fists. Also he didn’t take off his mask like he did when Orlando was selecting.
