    Hey folks! I really had to hustle to put this one together, so I want to apologize in advance for some missing bits and bobs. I wanted to add some more clips, and also I totally forgot to add Ja'Kobe's player evaluation (he had a good game). Hopefully you can find it in your hearts this holiday season to forgive my transgressions!

    Another great episode. Thanks for all the insights and comments on this game. So sorry to see Yak go down. Gradey is exciting to watch and can’t wait to see Scottie back to business. Always fun to see the Raptors try and try again. LOL …one day soon, the win will come.

    First time commenter. Just wanted to let you know that you provide the best Raptors coverage full stop. I've thought so for a while and it just occurred to me to let you know. Keep it coming, you've got a subscriber locked in for the whole ride

    i really do think RJ is the odd man out and will probly be traded sometime before his current contract ends. he will require superstar (max) salary for non-max production. his trajectory seems very siakam-ish to me. good numbers vs teams without the proper interior defense as mentioned, and i'm starting to think he's abysmal in the clutch, performance and decision making. aka down 3, decides to drive instead of trying to create for gradey, who got hot in the 3 in the 4th. buttttttt.. i wouldn't mind keeping him if we go all in on PG scottie and trade IQ. I just don't think BBQ will work when we do start competing for the playoffs. IQ and RJ are just too subpar of defenders to be kept in the starting lineup for a championship contender. I think this convo will need to be had depending on who we draft, and if we even do get a top 5 lottery pick.

      One or both of them are definitely getting traded within the next couple years. Especially with Gradey, there’s no way he, RJ and IQ can coexist long term defensively. Starting 2 pylons and an undersized PG is a recipe for failure.

      @@bobopanget yeah, I’m curious to see how things fit together long term. I’m not closed off to the possibility that he or Gradey could improve substantially on the defensive end, but I’m worried about the same thing you are (collecting too many poor defenders). I wouldn’t worry too much about clutchness though. Games are 48 minutes long, and most are won within the first 46, so I’ll take a player who performs well within those any day of the week. Thank you for the comment!

      @@RaptorsReport yeh but how many times did you cry when siakam used to miss those game winning middy's and layups for 3 years? cuz i sure did.. by a lot.. lol.. i think performance in the clutch is just as important as the first 46 minutes.. teams will go on runs and get hot from 3 which easily erase any type of lead you have the first 3 quarters.. most games that matter, including playoffs, are decided by 1-2 possessions.. scottie, without question, is HIM during clutch times..

    Great video, you are posting more this year! Long term, Gradey or RJ will be moved. It also depends on who the Raptors draft next year. RJ is extension eligible next summer and the Raptors action (or lack of) will show their true plans with him. Right now he’s needed as the top scorer home town kid, the story is good… until Masai has to make tough decisions when draft picks need paths to development.

      Gradey is almost certainly here to stay long term, RJ probably gets traded before his contract is up

      @@iExcaliburWorldthat is lunacy, Scottie makes everything better for the team as a whole, they are 5-7 when he plays. He runs the court well and is the heart of the team. His playmakinf and assists are critical, along with his DEFENCE !!! I know RJ(StarJ) is a hometown hero but I’m a non-Canadian Raptors fan and I don’t see us needing him long term. I know he scores a lot but I’m just not a fan 😢
      IQ Gradey and RJ all have some deficits on the defence side and of the three RJ is the one I would let go. He has less court vision and takes terrible shots at the wrong time and the biggest problem imo is his selfishness. He as a player just doesn’t fit long term.
      Losing Scottie would be a MASSIVE MISTAKE.
      We need Jak and we need Scottie.

    Who I want to keep in order of how much I want to keep them:

    I like Davion but he doesn’t score enough. Haven’t seen enough Bruce Brown to know or the other new guy but do love his cowboy clothes haha. I love Bruno’s vibes but he isn’t the best x
    Garrett Temple is my favorite Unc and want him on the team for rookies or as a coach Forever !!!

      I definitely agree with the sentiments about Scottie. He does a great job setting guys up, and his defense is very important. One of the things I’d disagree with about RJ is the selfishness/court vision. His passing has impressed me this season. He certainly has his flaws as a player though. Thank you for the detailed comment!

    I am totally with you on your first 8 picks. Kelly…what does he add?

    • @RaptorsReport
      @RaptorsReport  День назад

      You can run some offensive sets through him and he can shoot the ball. Those things can be valuable from the big position, but his actual “big” skills like protecting the basket and rebounding aren’t great.
