Careful what you wish for...
I’m hoping we get an insightful and not annoying or boring, recently retired ex-player, who is still well connected with current players. Then we’d at least get some inside scoops from a unique perspective.
Channing Frye mentioned that he was close to signing on as a Raptor broadcaster, but he reluctantly turned it down. He would have been decent.

I think one thing that the Raptors are going to b looking for when they do their due process is signs or clues that the guys in their range care about getting better, are very hard workers, take direction from specialists and have indications of high basketball IQ already. Everybody in the top 4 or 5 are gifted and talented. The separation will occur based on time in the gym and film room, and listening to assistants and trainers, not minutes on the court. They all see like good kids, but the interviews, of the players and of the people they played with, against, and for are going to be telling. Can you take a talented kid, and inculcate a work ethic into his personality? Maybe. It's going to be interesting.

He'd always be like "well, when WE smoked the Raps for the fourth time..."

projected deep 2nd round pick
Kai Jones is super athletic….Masai should try to get a mid teen pick to get this guy
My super raw sleeper is Ibou Dianko Badji. He's another Bruno, but I think we have better infrastructure to develop these kinds of guys now. The Raps should try to truly develop these guys through our system, it would be a game changer. I doubt it happens but, if you could give a 2nd rounder a 5 year incentive based contract where he makes a base salary playing in the GLeague, if he makes it to the NBA team he earns more money, if he becomes a rotation player he earns even more and so on... I think agents would get in the way of this, but for a guy like Badji it's the only way he's worth the investment.
But I should watch more Sims now. lol

Unlikely we draft him at this point without trading for another pick, but Giddey looked pretty solid in today's Australia-Nigeria game - the passing was effective (only one really pretty pass but everything was good), the shooting was solid and he was rebounding reasonably well.

And no we should not think about trading down to 15. This is our one shot to bring in a player with potential to eventually be a top 10 type of talent, so I hope they just draft who they feel has that type of potential.
