Dominate centres on both teams and both once again hall of famers all over the roster.
are we saying Suggs and Fred are projecting to be hall of famers? I will bet real money on that not happening!
If Brandon Roy is best case that’s still not enough.
you asked to name small backcourts that won championships, were given many examples, which you've now dismissed because the rosters had hall of famers.
every championship team is chock full of hall of famers, because:
i. you need great players to win championships; and
ii. winning championships is one of the most important criteria for selection to the hall of fame.
for the record, i do think suggs has as good a chance to make the hall of fame as any player in this draft, and said many months ago that i think he could be the best player to enter the league in the last several years not named luka or zion. i still feel that way, and still like him best in this draft.

My new mock draft. It's pretty much the same other than I now have Bouknight in the top 10. The Warriors need a guy that can help them now so i have them taking Bouknight. Mitchell also a possibility here.
Chad Ford (who is rarely right) is predicting Barnes to Toronto. I’ve listened to 3 of his mock draft podcasts now and he hasn’t moved off of it. Each time I yell at the radio... I’m nervous for my TV on draft night if that happens.

Ford is usually a pretty good predictor of what front offices are thinking so long as he has sources there. Like almost every other NBA journalist, he has no sources within the Raptors, because the Raptors value secrecy. He's basically just projecting Toronto's draft history over the past few years and combining that with his knowledge that a lot of front offices think Barnes should be considered to be in the top tier of agents now.
Barnes is a Raptors type player so no I wouldn't be surprised if he's their guy. And I like Barnes btw. I wouldn't have a problem if he's their guy, I wouldn't have a problem if Kuminga's their guy, I wouldn't have a problem if it's Keon. Anyone but Sengun.

So is Suggs.
And btw, we desperately need a Jalen Green type who is a better version of Demar, another Raptor type player.
