We aren't drafting Sabonis. The Raptors' front office is the best in the NBA in terms of keeping their potential moves a secret. No one has ever been able to predict who the Raptors are going to draft since Masai took over as GM.
I think we take whoever falls from the top-8 or Skal Labissiere.

I'm actually leaning towards them picking Poeltl
if y'all waste that pick on Skal I'm clowning y'all.

I don't even care. It's an 8 player draft and we have the 9th pick. Whoever we draft is just another 905 stash pick. Fire Masai.

After revisiting Utah's roster I really don't think they need another PG. Mack played well enough to stick around. If anything they should be praying for Poeltl.
They need Gobert insurance

I like Skal's potential and his story. I feel like his life experiences will push him towards being the best player he possibly can be. I also like Furkan Korkmaz at 9. He reminds me of Manu/Klay Thompson.
The best case scenario for us, though, are Chriss or Bender falling. I'd be ecstatic if they fell to 9.
I like Poeltl too, he'd be a good fit here. @str8up I do like Deyonta Davis, but I really think they just wouldn't take him because he's super raw right now. Casey doesn't play rookies/projects unless he's absolutely forced into it.

I don't know how much they're considering him.
Sabonis is probably better to come in and produce but you can't really count on that either
I guess you don't need another roster spot taken up, but they might as well take Davis if they're even considering between him or someone like Skal

My man, why do things like this to yourself. His numbers at the combine were not CLOSE to historic. He put up a 36 inch max vert, which wasn't even historic among bigs, in this single year's combine.
He was behind Damian Jones, Chriss, Bolomboy, Perry Ellis and fukking Jake Layman by three inches. And that was his MAX vert, which he has space to load up. His regular vert, which is the kind of jumping basketball players actually get to use... was straight up pedestrian for a big, just in this draft... LET ALONE in history. Dude isn't even putting up Noah Vonleh numbers.
STOP it.
And on top of that, if you watched ANY competitive basketball that he plays, you'd see that he almost never gets to use any of that in the games. He showed up at the combine at 216 pounds.
I think Thon Maker is worth a flier, later in the first round. Hell, I'd be happy with the knicks buying a pick and taking a shot on him. But if you're gonna use words like historic - you gotta at least throw it in the google-ometer, and see what history actually says.
Why?
They have a team full of young players and not a single star. It's not like Dunn makes them a title contender. With all of their guards, he barely moves the needle, and I think he's a great player.
This is an incredible asset to have come across, this is where you take a shot on a guy with some potential.

If they can get a guy like Dunn and potentially sign someone like Al Horford that would be huge for them, Dunn is the most NBA ready player in this draft and would help them a ton

Overall Nice Guy
It seems like it's between brown murray and hield
I love how Raptor fans want to draft Skal but then freak out at the prospect of drafting Sabonis
