Take whatever big is left


Of those three, I think it'll end up being Carrington that's left. I think both McCain and Carter will be picked in the 11-16 range, and if McCain somehow makes it past the 76ers at 16, there's no way Orlando at 18 passes him up because they're desperate for guard shooting.

Need to see this with defenders and pressure.

I'm a first round pick based on playing hoops on my driveway. Might be able to sneak into the late lotto.

Bigs that I like
Yves Missi
Zach Edey
Tyler Smith
DaRon Holmes
Kyle Filipowski

Wings I like:
Tristan Da Silva
Ryan Dunn
Dillon Jones
Bobi Klintman

Guards I like:
Jaylon Tyson
Carlton Carrington
Devin Carter
Jared McCain
Hunter Sallis
Tyler Kolek

I think we come out with a big and a guard and fill out the wing position through FA or trade.

Big and guard definitely the priority, we have a glut of wings already.


We've got some smaller wings, but don't really have any big wings anymore though, aside from Scottie (and I'm not really sure he's a wing). And if Brown and Trent leave, we've really got no one except RJ, Gradey, and Ochai. Da Silva would definitely fit a need, as he came in at a legit 6-8 and can shoot.

Even though he’s a bit older I like Da Silva.

And don't forget about Anthony Black!

Haha yeah, for as much as they had a very good season, their backcourt is a mess. Not a single one of their 4 PGs can shoot consistently. I really can't see any of their current guys except Suggs being there long term (well, the jury might still be out on Black).

Karaban is being seriously slept on. He's a rotation player first year IMO.

All the people I like measured pretty good except for Tyson
He's more of a big 2 guard

As far as guys who I would love to see drop to us, Ja'Kobe Walter is at the top for me. During this off-the-dribble drills he shot 23/30 (76.7%); Star Drill (40%)

Ja'Kobe Walter
6'4.25" height without shoes
6'10" wingspan (+6 wingspan)
8'6.5" standing reach
197 lbs
38.5 inch vert

Donovan Mitchell
6′ 1.25”
6′ 10”
211 lbs
40 inch vert

Not saying he has Mitchell's level in him, but the size, the shooting and guard skill at 19YO really pop for me.

Big fan of Karaban. A bit old for a Sophomore but he's a big (6'8 210lb) wing shooter, with really efficient percentages (50/40/90). Averaging 16.2pts 5.8reb 1.6ast 1blk 1.1stl (per 36). Also measured out with a 6'11 wingspan at the combine, which is +5 his height without shoes.

Ware is such a tease. I’m so tempted but I must resist!

Yeah, he looks like a safe/smart pick. 10 year vet written all over him.

And it's funny how a few days will change perspective. Tell me more how deep the 2025 draft is. I never wanted to keep the 2024 pick I was just playin. hehe

I feel like it happens every year but it's important to mention the combine isn't going to move teams much. Teams will host private workouts that will matter more for draft position. Unfortunately, we don't get to see that side of the process.

Yeah let's just pretend that the Raptors didn't have NINE possible picks they could've landed at: 1-4, 6, or conveying 7-10.

the obvious part was clearly that you said they would convey the 7th pick then you said you were off by one pick while linking your original post, understand now why it was pretty obvious?
