What about Michael Foster Jr? He looks like a a more bouncy Julius Randle. Maybe he can play C like Wendell Carter.

He's doing well in the G-League, but what are we going to do with another 6'8" Power Forward? Unless we're trading Precious

When is this kid declaring? Besides being light in the cakes he looks like a top notch prospect.

Late lottery draft picks are back on the menu.

Maybe he's part of a future trade package.

Late lottery is like 11-14. If the Raptors miss the playoffs then the Raptors keep the pick this year.

Wait the Raptors have the Pistons 2nd pick no matter what, so could have 2 picks this summer. :D

Kendall Brown, Walker Kessler, Niokla Jovic, Mark Williams or any of the wing droppers like a Tyrese Haliburton would be good.

Lookout for this name.

Leonardo Okeke. 18 yrs old. 6'9 230. Massive wingspan. Plays in Italy. Can guard all 5 positions play Center and handle the ball. This is probably the Detroit Pick.

Raps might be bringing in 2 rookies and Jalen Harris next year. The future team around Scottie is built this summer

Yeah, he's a good one. Very skilled for someone that age. Not very athletic but is a good player. I don't think he can guard the one but 3-5 at least.

Chet made a mistake going to Gonzaga imo

He hasn't had one game where he's been the man throughout the game

What did you think of his recent game of 21 pts, 15 rebs, 6 blks against a KenPom top 25 San Fran team on the road. Seems pretty decent.

I'm happy for Detroit, they're so bad that they won't move up much so it doesn't really matter and knocking of Charlotte was good. Although it does feel like they are trying harder since the trade.

Plus there are only about 4-5 Masai type guys that will be around in our range. That or tall specialists might add a couple more so moving up or down a spot or two probably won't matter.

I like that. A young Freddie Gillespie but a better defender.
