It doesn't matter anymore for us.

Of course it does. Either he falls to us or he pushes someone else down.

He looks like a hybrid, like I was saying earlier he reminds me of Dejounte. I think he fits beside IQ if he develops a jumper.

The Raps need to figure out how they want to play, they don't really have a guy they can run the offence through, unless one of Barnes and Barrett develop into that, but I don't know if they are those types of players.

Baylor Schierman is too old do draft in most cases, but the man knows how to play basketball and will make the NBA. He just looks like he has fun out there because he is reading the game so well. Case in point:

If Raps want a play now guy at 31 he is going to be an easy fit. Great Creighton player.

I mocked him to Celtics at 30 a month ago. Nba people have been high on him for ages, hes going to crack a rotation he's a very talented player.

Is he really 6'11 (I guess in shoes). If so would be like possibly a Blake Griffin?

Do we go Salaun and Chomche? All those trips to France just for vacation scouting?

Toronto officials are going with the “best available player” mantra at this point of the process, and that makes a lot of sense. But there are holes in the roster, as team president Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster have said publicly. All things considered, frontcourt size and a backup point guard are going to trump “best available player” when it comes to making their first selection at No. 19.

Back-up PG is a need? They literally dumped Schroder for nothing. I doubt they draft a back-up PG when it's a position easily filled with scraps in FA.

I’d say he reminds me of Ersan Ilyasova

Jamal Shead and KJ Simpson seem like Garrett Temple types. Long term NBA back ups who don’t hurt the team, but are never good enough to start permanently. Just rock solid.

Is it me or it’s contradictory?

Also it seems like Doug Smith looks at current consensus mock draft in picking 6 potentials names in the 10-20 ranges.

But odds are the Raptors will be looking at way more guys that the group of 6 he provided !

The more I watch the flashes with Bub the more i see Shai lite. That age makes what he did already really impressive

Doug has zero sources and just guesses like the rest of us.

I think someone will bet on his upside, like WAS did with Bilal, and he goes top 10. Especially in a draft like this which lacks highend upside.
