OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

Btw, for anyone looking to see signs of life in Airious "Ace" Bailey's prospect status, he had a fucking banger of a game against Indiana a few days ago. 39 points on good shooting and probably most importantly, 4 dimes for a guy who doesn't fuck pass.
 
Ace kind of did it again last night. 30 points on 13/15 shooting, and it was an eclectic shot mix, not just chucking contested middies all night like he was doing earlier in the season. Getting into the lane a lot more while still hitting some audacious shit when he needed to. Showed more athleticism in the lane than I've seen from him so far too, was bouncy. 0 assists so the concerns about his fit in a modern offence will persist, but overall since christmas the efficiency is way up, the defence looks a bunch better, the turnovers are down, and we've seen a few flashes of willingness to playmake. Had he started the season like this, he would be in the conversation for 1st overall imo. Flagg would be the consensus #1 still, but it wouldn't be hilarious to mention how much better Bailey's scoring is. If I re-did my personal mock right now, Bailey moves into 4th and would be a few more games of this from leap frogging Tre Johnson for 3rd.

Bailey's BPM has gone from...fucking negative 0.5 to a respectable for a lottery pick 6.1 (though low for an elite prospect), over the course of 3 weeks. Insane turnaround in his season.
 
cool matchup.


Barnes: 16:21, 14pts (9fga), 6rb (0off), 3ast/1to, 1st/0bk, 0pf
Banchero: 15:20, 14pts (9fga), 9rb (0off), 2ast/1to, 0st/0bk, 1pf
 
i'd love to get a real update on Scottie's weight. he's gotta be at least 240 now and i think he's more.

we don't have any official measures for banchero unfortunately.

Unofficial "trust me bro" measurement on Banchero pre draft was 6'10.5 without shoes. Leaked from his pre draft workout with Houston.

Dunno about weight but 240-250 looks about right. Wendell Carter Jr is 270 and doesn't look that much thicker than Banchero, and maybe a bit shorter.

But yeah, Scottie has to be 6'8 235+ at this point.

yeah i don't think banchero's that tall. i think most are skeptical of that height. more like 6'9". and i don't think he's as long as scottie either. but he is bigger. scottie just seems like a fucking load out there for anyone tho.
