Sengun is a pretty solid athlete for 265 lbs. Just jack up that upper-body and get him on an NBA training program and you'll have a super high-floor prospect. Hip and overall mobility is an underrated athletic trait.
But back to a guy I'm actually uber-high on, Scottie Barnes is just a great fit. Perfect backup to Pascal from Day 1 AND can play alongside him or pretty much anyone. Should escalate both our defense and our burgeoning transition game. And this athleticism+frame combo rivals if not exceeds OG's.
Here he is in Grade 11:

We are on total ends of the spectrum, Barnes and Sengun are two players I absolutely want to stay away from.
Senhun is floor bound, barely gets over the rim on dunks. No interest. I see Barnes as another Stanley Johnson. Can’t shoot, I’m not all the impressed with his passing or his court vision (and that’s his selling point).
Keon Johnson, Moses Moody, James Bouknight are the players I would prefer.

For a C he's seems pretty fluid to me. Not saying we should draft the kid, but he's somewhat a ready to play NBA minutes prospect as opposed to a two year project before he can get on the floor for meaningful minutes.

I could be wrong, but I’m just not seeing it. I’d rather take a wing, I feel like there is a greater ceiling.
My list from earlier only speaks to guys that I expect can be NBA rotational players in their first season. I've added Sengun to the list but not saying we should draft him. I'm still hight on Barnes, he has the ability to be a point forward with his dribbling and passing and is already a good defender. If those skills translate to the NBA and he can add a shot then he's essentially a taller, more talented OG which is a win.

I'm with you on wanting a wing with the lottery pick, and Bouknight is my dark horse in the 6-10 range Raps are expected to pick. I'm actually not a big fan of Moody or KJ....seem more like T.Ross types of guys that can't create their own shots. Not going to pretend I've got a great handle on what their ceiling are but e have enough guys that need their offense created for them.

Barnes,
Kai Jones MAYBE - seems to be a sort of myles turner type - if you want a project
How good is Corey Kispert?
I can see Jalen Johnsn being decent if we end up some how turning those two picks in the second round for a higher pick ... he would be someone i'd pick up later.
Bouknight seems to be good but I don't know. His playmaking seems to be lacking which is desperately needed on this team especially if lowry goes.
Joshua Giddey
I can see us grabbing Sengun as well with a second rounder.
If we are top 4.. take the BPA. If its you do one of two things. Either you grab cade OR you trade back with Orlando for the 3/4 and 10 pick. I'd keep Cade but its a tough tough call. If you some how jump both orlando's picks and are top 4 and Orlando has two top 10 its still a maybe trading back.
if you are top 4 you take Cade/Mobley/Suggs/Kuminga/Green in that order.

Whenever people see a white 7ft Euro guy who can shoot the ball, people always use Dirk Nowitzki as a comparison. I guess we're now going to use Jokic as a comparison whenever we see a skilled Euro big man?
Sengun is not the next Jokic. We don't need to draft a C in the 1st round. The Raptors are already set in that position.
As for Corey Kispert, just watch Joe Harris play. That's Corey Kispert.Mamba Mentality
