Everything Precious Achiuwa

[GOLDBLUM]

I like Flynn, but if there is one thing that really stands out between him and the guys that got minutes this season is his lack of physicality. Every guy from Fred to Precious are uber physical defenders. Even Boucher is punching above his weight.

That said, he really put in some solid minutes checking Harden and Maxey. Stayed in front of them and really took away their line drives to the net.

I'm certainly more prepared to give him some development time than I had been previously.
(I'm not sure whether I actually have that kind of authority.)

Maybe if RR votes as a block ....

Maybe Nurse ran Fred into the ground on purpose... so he wouldn't have the awkward situation of having to bench him in the playoffs to unlock Scottie at PG and the 6'9"s. That's 6D chess right there.

I am sure that play is in Masai's cards as well. In the summer of 2023 both FVV and GTJ will become free agents and both would want sizeable pay-raise contracts. In situations like this its more conceivable that the Raptors might lose one and not be able to sign both in which case if FVV happens to be that player that stays and GTJ isn't (not saying that would be the case) than FVV will naturally be placed at the 2 spot, if Barnes ascension to the PG role proves to be more then fruitful.

It would also helps to alleviate the situation if the Raptors can manage to also have a solid back up PG and SG that can step in the starting lineup without hurting it next season.

I think the Raps could conceivable keep Gary and FVV... having Scottie and Precious on rookie deals helps spread that money around.

As for Flynn, I like the kid, but I don't think he has a future here... but I can see him doing well on another team... for hi to be an asset in a trade he needs to be showcased, not sure that's going to happen.

I suspect they'd keep both GTJ and Fred, and then if they have to trade one or the other, do that a year or two after re-signing them.

ideally yes but in all likelyhood but we just don't know what crazy GM will be out there that is willing to back that money truck up to their driveway in order to get one of them in a price that wouldn't make sense. Again it GTJ could conceivably elevate his game even more next season there would be a bidding war for his services.

Nurse broke into Fred's room one night and broke his hip flexor. Lol

Or had his wife do it making baby Fred Jr the 2nd

What a season by Precious…trajectory is on the right track

I was a doubter, but he turned me around.
Future is bright.

Low key one of my favourite Raptors over the season (okay, maybe not at the beginning)

I hope one day I can watch him bring the ball up the floor without my sphincter clenching up - although his impulsive drives to the rim sometimes end in a highlight. As long as his defense is there I won't complain too much

[G__Deane]

100% better than the hands-of-stone beginning of the season, some flashes of growth and brilliance yet still a touch of bonehead. Young and tons of room for growth, ceiling unknown

His progression throughout the season was a sight to behold. Really excited for him to come in as the starting C next season. He's gonna average a double double while hitting 3s at nearly 40% clip and playing great defense.

[Bonus Jonas]

Can’t wait to watch Precious develop.

He has absolutely everything you could want out of a modern big. Just needs to put it together and get consistent.

Precious hitting 40% would do wonders for this team, especially if it's at decent volume.
