He is, by virtue of his nature and his journey, and the quality and strength of his heart, and,in one of those instances where the universe seems to unfold as it should, was always meant to be a Raptor.
Raptors drafted Stoudemire years ago who was similar in height and had a great career. Nowell's shooting and playmaking will be welcomed and needed in the 6. Salute
This man is going to surprise a lot of nay Sayers who doubt him because of his size. He has the two things you cant teach and that is mental toughness and heart. My daughter plays D2 ball and we watched him play during that incredible march madness run and I told her this is how you play the point guard position. I look forward to watching this young man play in the NBA and i wish him all the best.
@@kyemaker Yea I can tell you got cut from the JV squad as a sophomore. Stay in school kid and maybe next year you can JV as a junior just to ride the bench. And then maybe you’ll also learn how to spell “hoopers” down bad kid got auto correct on hooters what a weird loser. 🤡
one of the most talented PGs in this draft, Lillard range, Dearron Fox like Quickness's, Great finisher, solid defender for his size and has that dog factor, for sure gonna be a steal
I’m a KU fan so naturally I dislike kstate, but this guy is absolutely insane and i wanted a team to take a chance on him cause he deserves to be in the nba
Many people: "Nowell stay in school. Forget about the NBA. you're too short" Nowell: "Ok" Interviewer: "Mr. Nowell why are you pushing it so hard to be a NBA player?" Nowell: "Because they said I couldn't have it. So, I took it as a motivation". Welcome to Toronto Canada where we love the underdogs.
Gonna have a lot of trouble against nba athletes and overcoming some already prevalent efficiency issues. But if there’s a team that can hide him on defence with length it’s us
I don't share the common concern that defence will be Nowell's liability, certainly not with his effort and game IQ. Mind you, Isaiah Thomas' defensive rating as a Celtic was comparable to many 6'3 offensive stars, which us clearly accepted. I'm rooting for this man.
Really like this dude. But i already know teams gonna pass up on him because of his height. Might even go undrafted. But i'm sure some team will pick him up. He is going to be a steal!
@Akilan21 Masai was never a GM because he is the Raptors Executive Vice Chairman and President, Bobby Webster is the GM. Are you sure you are a Raptors fan? Lol!
I would've liked FVV to be around to help mentor this kid for a few years. But yeah, I like the signing. Obviously being 5'8" has huge disadvantages, especially in today's game, but both Lowry and FVV proved to be stud defenders by attacking the dribble. You get the ball to shoulder height, and neither Lowry nor FVV could do much. But you put that ball on the floor even once and you were in trouble. Hopefully Nowell can play like that, too. Bigs and wings will try to get swtiches onto him and he'll need to use that quickness to attack the first dribble, otherwise he's toast. But I love his attitude and I definitely rooting for him.
FVV is a horrible mentor. Would be great if we can get Lowry back on the squad for the veteran minimum to mentor Scottie, Markquis and Dalano. Man, I absolutely love these three guys.
Love him. I saw him in the NCAA tournament when he had like 19 assists. He'll be fine offensively, just like Isaiah Thomas was. But he'll struggle defensively. I wish him the best!
Welcome to the Raptors Markquis Nowell!!
💯💯
I really hope he gets drafted and does well after having a great performance in the tournament!
We hope so too!🦾

Welcome to Toronto Markquis! We're going to love you here, and I'm sure you'll fit right into the city and club's culture.
Heart over height!!!
He might go to the G league.
AGREED 💯
Signed with the Raptors. Potential VanFleet replacement.
Being same height, his physique is at final form. Inspiring
He was the most electrifying playing in march madness
Raptors drafted Stoudemire years ago who was similar in height and had a great career. Nowell's shooting and playmaking will be welcomed and needed in the 6. Salute
Can he help take the Raptors to the playoffs??
@@whistlesports I think so, if put in the right roll where he can play to his strengths
I wish Marquis good luck, he’s truly an inspiration. 💯
💯💯
Welcome to the Raptors, hopefully he gets some solid minutes to prove himself 😈🐕
hopefully him and jordan walkers have long stay in the legaue
I really think Toronto has found a killer in this man. Excited to see him work this year.
Markquis is a beast 💯

We love our small point guards in Toronto. ❤
The city is already showing the most love! I love Toronto Because we accept everyone with open arms!
I really hope he can hold his own defensively on the NBA level. Glad the raps are giving him a chance
Markquis is a ⭐
People say this about short hooters but if you have a high defensive iq you can defend anybody tbh
People talk they played in the nba smh
@@l-SlimReaper-I if you know the game and used to play then yeah 🤣

He's a DAWG

Welcome to the Six. The marathon continues. Love the Nipp shout out.
Love it! And he's going to love it in Toronto
I’m a KU fan so naturally I dislike kstate, but this guy is absolutely insane and i wanted a team to take a chance on him cause he deserves to be in the nba
He earned it!
You called it! Raptors got em.
I'm excited to see if he can defy the odds and find success
ROOTING FOR HIM!
Perfect FVV replacement for the Raptors
he's looking like FVV 2.0
Many people: "Nowell stay in school. Forget about the NBA. you're too short"
Nowell: "Ok"
Interviewer: "Mr. Nowell why are you pushing it so hard to be a NBA player?"
Nowell: "Because they said I couldn't have it. So, I took it as a motivation".
Welcome to Toronto Canada where we love the underdogs.

Heart does not make up for solid defence and wingspan. I still want to see this man succeed in Toronto.

Really like this dude. But i already know teams gonna pass up on him because of his height. Might even go undrafted. But i'm sure some team will pick him up. He is going to be a steal!
DEFINITELY a steal!
You called it bro.
Jheze u called it. Raps got the best gm in Masai for sure
@Akilan21 Masai was never a GM because he is the Raptors Executive Vice Chairman and President, Bobby Webster is the GM. Are you sure you are a Raptors fan? Lol!
@@edgystyle7351Bobby Webster is a fraud
Raptors 🔥
Easily the most exciting player in the draft, this is my guy👊🏽💪🏽🏀
We got a real one
Welcome to toronto fams
Rooting for him
SO ARE WE!!
i like his vibe more than FVV already...
Welcome to Toronto Fvv 2.0
Markquis is tougher than most big guards 💯💯🔥
He plays BIG!!
Dude is a legend!!!! Need him on the lakers if we lucky
Nowell, Lebron, AD💯
Raptors
It says Raptors in the title
LETS GO RAPTORS
Welcome to Toronto he is going to be a superstar

I wish we could get KLow back to mentor him our other young talents.
Giant Slayer
One of the steals on this draft class. Str8 daawwg no matter the size
Welcome to the Raptors. I feel a refresh coming either the Raps.
new york city has the best PG ever i feel
3:11 this is prolly the coldest pic I’ve seen 🥶
Way to go Nowell! Welcome to the North! We're proud of you!
Markquis is legit!
He's a DAWG!
Love the pick up, but saying he can shoot from distance followed by a clip of him banking in a logo shot is cap lol
What a special player
I want to make it to the nba this gives me confidence
You got this💯
He tuff🔥🔥🔥
💯💯
I want to see him next to Wemby
might be a mismatch 😆
He looks good!
In march maddness this man was cooking
Raptorssssss
I've seen amazing offensive highlights but what about defence? Can he guard a 6'6 PG?
Amazing
🙌🙌
Love him. I saw him in the NCAA tournament when he had like 19 assists.
He'll be fine offensively, just like Isaiah Thomas was. But he'll struggle defensively. I wish him the best!
The Raptors are missing that much needed edge
legend
