HOLY!!!

This will move every top prospect down a notch (Except, the very top). Good for us.


How is he eligible for 2022 draft? That's straight out of HS no?

He reclassified and is at Kentucky now. He’s likely gonna start playing NCAA in around a week

We don’t suck enough. Probably gonna end up picking like 11th or something like that.

You aren't lying, he is ultra talented. At least the draft is more stacked and someone falls.

If Atlanta turns things around, the Raptors could nab the #9 spot and that's good enough for a chance at the #4 pick. :nod:

Wait, the Clippers are dying off too so #10. :noway:

Chet, Paulo, Ivey, Jabari

Sharpe, Hardy, Tyty, Griffin, Mathurin

So at #10, the Raptors are in good position to take one of those players that may drop or draft from a pool of:

Keegan, JDavis, Duren, Kendall Brown, Dyson, Eason, Kessler, Jovic, Champagnie.

As long as they miss the playoffs the worst the would get is #14. Chris Duarte was drafted #13, when he was mocked in the early 20's most of the year because of his age. Outside of the top 10 is when the scouting does it's work.

Would be amazing to draft a potential Canadian star though. No offence Banton.

If Sharpe is eligible for the 2022 draft, he definitely should declare himself. He can avoid the strong 2023 draft group of Victor Wembanyama and Emoni Bates etc, and get paid 1 year earlier. There is no down side to declaring asap.

I havent been all that impressed with this draft class so far, but if Sharpe declares that would be a bitter pill to swallow potentially missing out on him too. He might be good enough to crack coach Nurse's 7 man rotation.

Hey Pooh, I know you were a huge fan of the Hawks and said they were an elite Eastern Conference team this year.

Has your opinion changed about them? How would you rate their tank? Reddish, Okongwu and Hunter all drafted in the lottery alongside Trae. Do you think any of them can be Trae’s running mate? Or do you think Collins and Capela who were drafted outside of the lottery are better?

Trent is apparently coming back and we are a 1 point underdog against the lowly Wizards.

I mean, we aren't terrible but we also aren't good.

All indications are this is a 40 win basketball team.

imo the Shaedon Sharpe news should change our direction. I wasnt high on this draft but i want him and knowing he's not gonna play many games? He's gonna fall lower than he should.


I think he's #1 in this draft tbh I'm trading up for him at the draft

How much lower? He should go top 5 and we won't be top 5 and who is trading lotto picks?

he wanted to trade for Shai, wanted to trade for Giannis. He's shown interest in the past

imo i think we will be a lottery team. I think our range is 9-14. So trading up to 5 from 10 isnt as hard as you think

Yeah late lottery picks while trading low value assets. As far as I know he's never traded for a high lottery pick and that's likely because the price for those picks would require an all-star caliber player. Masai doesn't take those kinds of risks.

Talk is cheap. :evil: To move up in the lottery it's usually a 2 for 1 trade.
