Mobley is just lucky to be the only big in the draft. But he's not really special imo.

The hype around Barnes is he seems to have separated himself from most of the class.

We should just Draft and Trade the pick.


Scottie Barnes is OG all over again no thanks....we have too many defense first guys who cant create....

Mobley has his warts but all of the top 4 guys have warts....Cade is too slow,Green is too raw,Mobley is too soft and Suggs is too boring...You still gotta pick one of them...

Yeah I'd still take any of the 3 left over Barnes right now. They're still way ahead of the rest of the class. A month ago, some of us were talking about Kai Jones and Keon Johnson at #7 and those guys are as raw as sushi.

he plays the same position as OG

Considering the holes the raptors have at guard and a big

Out of all the positions we have I'd say OG is the only guy I would say is untouchable

Nobody on this team is untouchable sorry to break it to you NOBODY....we have no perennial stars on this team that need to be built around,we just have parts....Top 4 you take the best player and work it out after never draft this high for need....thats how you wind up with Michael Bradley :scust:

Im referring to his extension, almost August and zero indication of movement. If he’s moving on, get on with it.

Masai is gonna look like a dikk if he ups and leaves now 1 week before the draft and free agency....

Also the fact theres no news on the Masai signing brings to mind the fact we need new reporters and beat writers in thnis city because our writers covering this team are fukkn awful at there jobs....Grange,Doug Smith Lewenberg dont know a cot damn thing or have not one shred of insider info on the team they cocver 24/7 thats beyond pathetic....talk about white mediocrity thats the raptor beat writers to a tee.

How many times do you have to read tweets from Shams Windhorst Marc Stein Marc Spears Bobby Marks etc etc for raptor breaking news,its embarrassing.

Grange used to be half decent but he's just a fluff piece guy now. Lewenberg could be replaced by one of those associated Press bots that just resends the same no info stories everywhere

Doug Smith still being a basketball writer is a joke. So fukking awful.

Blake Murphy breaks news for minor signings (Boucher, Gillespie, two-ways and 10 days), but that's it. I don't remember any other Raptor beat reporter breaking news. Most of the younger Raptors media are just personalities who write fluff pieces or jokes for twitter
