OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[zeke]

undrafted 2-way C Branden Carlson with the surpise start in summer league game 1.

6'11" / 7'1" / 9'1" / 220

playing well too.

but already 25.

 

[zeke]

30-10 raps at the end of Q1.

10 minute quarters too btw.

 

[MindzEye]

Big D energy.

JFL turning into even a back of the rotation guy would be nice, looks good against this level of competition.

 

[zeke]

long freak bigman Chomche dropping some serious dimes.

 

[zeke]

if Mogbo is #2 than he's not the undersized C I thought he was. he's putting the ball on the floor from the perimeter without hesitation.

He was a guard before a late growth spurt. Can't shoot though.

maybe more of a siakam situation draft-wise than I thought tho.

 

[zeke]

Dick slow start shooting but now they're going in and he's boarding and assisting like a champ. Looks great.

Agbaji....not so much.

Fwiw, I get the good part of Precious vibes off of him. I think I called him Precious with BBIQ, still see it.

honestly think he's already shown more natural ballhandling ability in 10min here than I've ever seen from Precious.

Gradey needs to process the game faster.

 

[zeke]

Shead ready to play from the start. Ja'Kobe not so much.

 

[MindzEye]

I have a fondness for fast PG's who defend the ball. Shead might be a NBA player. Shot needs to get there though.

 

[zeke]

Chomche doing everything to keep me interested. Youngest guy in summer league and super duper long. naturally bigger/heavier than i expected. rebounding seems automatic for him, and he's heads up looking to make nifty passes right away.

We're loaded with interesting prospects for the 1st time since Pascal-Fred-Norm were back of the rotation/D League kids.

 

[zeke]

Still don't like the Ja'Kobe pick and he hasn't done anything to change my mid here. But the other guys seem interesting.

Yeah, he looks 2 years away from being 2 years away tonight. Not loving the sloppy handle at all.

Hopefully just nerves

 

[MindzEye]

Also gonna say slow down on projecting Gradey as a major member of the rotation. He's Gradey, so the IQ is decent, he makes plays, good size for a guard. But he sure doesn't look a step above this competition, or better than he was last year.
