Defense is his strength and shooting was his weakness.

Not that people are saying he'll end up the same, but those comparisons were made about a guy like Kawhi when he was drafted too, so obviously guys can develop their shot once working with NBA coaches for months/years.

Jalen Green is a bucket right now. 25 points at the end of the 3rd

I want you guys to see something. Look how on balance Green is throughout these moves.

Mobley.... You can see he's going to be a problem.

It's truly sad what happen in China with him. But man these is no doubt he is talented.

Really Jalen is something else out there. Any size he can add to his wire frame. Look out!

Its paid off in the past with a steal in Siakam over the obvious choice in Skal, and failed big time when they took Bruno over Capela, so we'll see. But Barnes and Flynn had nice games. It's a new era in Raptors basketball, but hopefully its one which leads to even more success than the last one.

That falls into the whole drafting for need vs best available/fit. You always hear draft for BPA, but get criticized for not filling needs. Especially in the NBA with the draft before FA. We're going to find out if it makes sense for Cavs to draft Mobley and then give Allen $20M APY. Are they really going to run a Sexton-Garland-Okoro-Mobley-Allen lineup. But, usually that's when they try to move on from previous player the next year. So guys like Fultz, Siakam, Allen, Reddish are guys you can see in the next couple seasons getting moved

I forgot that it was the Raptors who drafted Bruno who was "2 years away from being 2 years away".

Raptors definitely wanted Mobley more than Barnes, but Cavs weren't trading down from 3.

Although who knows how a 3 team deal would've gone with Raptors getting 3, Cavs getting 5, Magic getting 4, since Mobley to Raptors, Barnes to Magic, Suggs to Cavs likely would've been how things played out.
