Gradey Dick's activity on the court made a big difference in the first two games despite no 3's made, he was a nightmare. His not being there made a big difference to this summer squad.
What? He was awful in the second game before he was injured. He looks confused on the court lol
He was good either. He bricked all his 3’s and left without making any of them.
@@Here4aLyfeTime Tell me you didn't watch the game without not watching the game. He made a huge difference, you're telling me the moment he's not on the floor in the last 2 games they just magically sucked all of the sudden. He did all of the intangibles things on the floor to help them win those first 2 games.
@@mikeyjames Um, please understand basketball Mr. Not Knowing Basketball Mikey James, sir. You do realize you can impact the game more than just scoring, right? That's what Gradey did in those first 2 games and they sucked in the last 2 without him.
I’d rather have 1 actual good pick than 5 average nobodies
4 average, don't sleep on Walter
Chomchee will be nice, give him a few years. Kids 18
At least Ja'Kobe started to shoot well near the end
This guy is 24 years old with multiple seasons of experience in the nba, yet he still manages to look WORSE than an average role player in summer league. Let’s not forget that the Jazz selected Isaiah Collier with the pick we gave up too. Masai missed with this one.
Some ppl play better with better players, and more structured play. Seen it in other sports as well. Hockey especially. Players in the AHL struggling in the farm league, then thriving in the NHL.
Summer league means nothing. It's always better to do good, but when that ain't the case in summer league, who cares.
Agbaji flat out SUCKS!!!!!. At least some of these other guys are rookies and are fairly young. Agbaji is the next Flynn. A player the Raptors are going to hold onto way too long. Sure he can defend but so could Stanley Johnson who Masai thought was the next OG. I’m sick of the obsession this organization has with guys like Agbaji that can’t do anything on offense but we plan to teach them everything offensively. This man is not a rookie. He’s pushing 25!! Mogbo i can understand because he’s young and a rookie. McCaw, Bonga, Stanley Johnson, Agbaji.. you see a pattern here ? picking up these guys that’s been in the league for a while who can defend and thinking we can teach them how to become scores when no other team can. I’m sick of this flawed obsession with these type of players. This guy Agbaji is a 3rd year player in summer league looking worst than all the rookie that we played against from a “weak draft class”. He looks worst than Bronny and most 2nd round picks. If I see this guy playing like this in preseason and we don’t waive him I don’t know what Masai’s obsession is with him. How does this guy look worst than undrafted players ? I honestly believe Nwora was better than him.
@@kyosenofficial As a player with 2 years nba experience, you should atleast be able to stand out against the g league players. Thats not the case.
Although i am slightly worried about ochai's performances, i do think he is one of the players that needs to have to teammates to perform well. Hopefully im right
Ochai is the son of Masai's best friend and I think Masai is his godfather. There isn't another team in the league that wants him, yet he has a sweet contract in Toront. Hmmm?
Sad to say but Ochai needs a season in the g.... Carlson has promise, I think him with real players will unlock his talents. Ja'kobe looks lost but have high hopes he figures it all out. Prepare for another rough year ppl
Somthin people struggle to understand is that ochai isn’t a star guy who creates points for himself he is a 3&D player. Ik people are gonna say he can’t nock down the 3 after seeing his 3pt% in the summer league but you if you watched the tape you’d see he was taking some pretty wild 3s that doesn’t take in the nba. He plays different in SL than the normal nba. Y’all just gotta realize he a catch and shoot 3&D guy. His defence Is phenomenal.
Phenomenal defensive player? Word?
Doesn't really matter because he's 6'4. Way too small to be a real 3&D player. Raptors gonna be one of the worst defensive teams this season
21 percent from 3 as a Raptors is 3 and D? 6’5 PF is phenomenal?
I dono what games you were watching but this dude wasn’t stopping shit on d
Mogbo might be good, but I think Masai should have taken Filipowski instead.
I just don't understand how we're still holding onto BB, meanwhile we let Gary walk for a Min. Also this rebuild/young core still doesn't have a true big, we passed on Filipowski, not flaming anyone directly, but what are we doing?
Cause bruce is a better player then gtj ... Gary is a doesn't play defense can't make shots unless he's wide open and wanted 25 mil 😊
Masai doesn't know what he's doing actually.
@@chadarsenault6384 Not for this Raptors team he isn’t. Dudes like you will bring up his performance from 2 seasons ago with a different organization and try to pretend he was better than our best and most consistent shooter on the team. Gary was literally a top 10 perimeter defender statistically just a few seasons ago too. If every season the team decreases your role for no reason, just to play Pascal at the 5 and have no court spacing. You will obviously lose motivation to give effort on defense, they are humans and not robots…
It takes two to make a deal. We weren't there in the office. The rumour is that he asked for $25 million and the Raptors offered $15 million. There is no proof of this anywhere. But there are many players that have accepted less money to play on a contender rather than a below average team. It would seem like his agent didn't read the market well, but again, we don't really know. I think it's obvious Toronto would have picked him up for a minimum contract in two seconds if Gary's agent was willing to get him to sign for that in Toronto. But it doesn't look like they ever had an opportunity to do that.
I don’t think we can trade him but raps fans don’t want that reality at least not rn the new tax apron makes it hard to move Bruce Brown on 22 million
I bet gtj is looking good now .gtj average 12 point . Let’s see how many of these pick will get to that.
If you know basketball you would never panic, it's Summer League which means it's all about development for these young guys. The reason why we played so well the first 2 games was because of Gradey Dick, he made the game easier for everybody else with his experience on the floor, even when he didn't shoot well, he still contributed in other ways. These guys have no chemistry with each other, so it looks that way on the floor. Give them some games together, and you won't see this ever happen again. I still like some of the guys individually like Carlson, Shead, Walter, and Commie.
Facts!, only casuals panic over summer league games.
Abagi is too hesitant with his offensive game.
But I think once his cinfidence goes up, we will see the player even saw in College.
Everyone talkin shit anout Massai's misses, but a lot of GM's miss.
Hello!! Scottie was ROY!!
JA'KOBE gona develop into a problem and the nba will be like, how'd we let that guy slip to 19th?
😂😂😂.
The Raptors are gona be a deadly team...
Golden State was a joke for many years before they drafted Steph, Klay, and Dray.
YALL need to be patient as fans!!!
We just won in 2019!!!!
@@infamous1ao Exactly, you can tell the difference between a hardcore and a casual based on reaction like this here.
@@mcgregorpeters9320 I agree, it's all about confidence and growth for Agbaji, I still believe in the kid that he will come on. Exactly, the best of the best GMs in NBA history have missed at times. Scottie was a great pick, he didn't have to pick him at #4. Remember when a lot of casual Raptors fans were expecting Jalen Suggs or Josh Giddey?
Ja'Kobe is definitely going to be a problem, it's still hard to believe that we got him at #19. I'm liking Carlson too, that was a major steal.
The Raptors definitely gonna be deadly, we got back to taking care of our depth. We'll establish a new bench mob within a year or two.
Exactly, this stuff takes time, fans gotta be patient. Some of these fans act like 2019 was 20 years ago. LOL!
@@PredatorKingdom everything you said here is on point PK!!!
I’m okay with all the other rookies struggling not worried about any of this… except Ochai, it’s Ochover
Its the summer league chill - none of it matters. These are all young dudes who are gonna need to develop. Yeah it was terrible, is what it is, they're gonna have to grow.
Everyone from this summer league should be in G league
We know Ochai’s father and Masai are friends right? 🤔
Ochi is a young Tony Allan
it is what it is
Note from the Raps vs Heat game:
We got outcoached... even our "highlights" are forced 2s and 1 on 3 baskets.
nobody looked great. I'm more concern about Carlson because his defense and game disappeared against a more physical team. Nobody was able to do anything out there including Freeman-Liberty and Ja'kobe Walter who only does the scoring but isn't shown to do anything else (you can compare that to Gradey Dick... even when his shots aren't falling he goes for the O-board, get steals, pass, move the ball, etc).
Basically we aren't here to win the summer league but in terms of showcasing talent... there isn't a lot of talent on the raptors bench and our true concern is not having a suitable backup point guard.
Ochai is kind of like Precious.....Insane athletic ability, full of potential and can guard multiple positions. And much like Precious, his court IQ sometimes leave you shaking your head. I really hope he smarten up because his ceiling is f#cking high, but if he don't catch on this year, I think that's it for him as a Raptor. If they got rid of Precious, whom Masai was very high on, they will certainly get rid of him.....
Masai lost GTJ for nothing, failed to trade Bruce Brown, drafted a bunch of nobody's, and didn't sign a single NBA caliber free agent. We're literally worse going into next season. Good job Masai.
Massai have to go. delusional Raptors fans don't see it how bad it is.
GTJ signed a vet minimum, that shows his current value. Bruce Brown can still be traded. What free agent would want to come to a small market rebuilding team. Remember, Siakam, FVV, Norm were all nobodies at first as well. I agree the front office have been bad as of late but they finally let go of the retooling era and are officially focusing on a rebuild.
@@E.trickz Facts
@@armykid0000 LoL found the Masai D rider. Keep coping man. GTJ and Brown should have both been gone at the trade deadline last season.
@@Logan69420 I agree, they keep their players to keep evaluating for too long. I'm just not dumb enough to throw a tantrum when we're rebuilding. if they're replaced, it's very easy to find people who are way worse than them
Saw a lot of good things, it's summer league, and a lot of promising things about with the young players
Ochai Agbaji is 6'4 and couldn't shoot. Why would y'all think he was gonna be an effective NBA player? Id trade all these scrub new additions to have Trent back. We WILL be in the running for top pick next draft!!!
If Agbaji is projected as Dillon Brooks with an actual personality? I'll take it I guess for a low first round pick...
Well he's too small to be on Brooks' level so there's that
It was a bit rough... lot's of these young players don't like all that great. Ochai... I have said, Joey Graham last season is similar.
Ochai bouta be out the league in 1-2 years...
Ochai is so much worse than I thought. Not really having a major problem with any of the other guys because they are rooks, but man Ochai is ass. He doesn’t look anything close to an nba player. He’s averaging less points than Bronny on equivalent efficiency.
Raptors are a team thats good enough to be a playin team but bad enough not to be a top 5 pick next year . 🎉🎉 😂
There's the rub. The only way they become terrible enough to be a bottom five is getting rid of Scottie and IQ. But they are the entertainment value for this team and the Raptors are in the entertainment business. But if you trade everyone to get a lottery ticket for Cooper Flagg is this a better path to success? Maybe. But even if your lottery numbers come up, you will have Cooper Flagg and a bunch of G-leaguers. Maybe you get lucky and win a second lottery in 2026. But as Detroit and Washington keep proving to us - winning lotteries only helps when the draft is full of stars. It's a tough league for non-famous franchises to get to a championship level. It's easier to dig your way out of the lottery, very tough to become a contender.
It reminds me of the Washington Wizards when they had Beal and John Wall. Always around 10-6 seed . Now raps probably will be around 10
Ochai 😢
Ouchai 😂
You have role players playing out of position. And without Gray Dick the summer team is avg at best.
Agdaji for defensive player had no steals or blocks says it all.
Carlson 12 points 2 blks in 17 mins
Ja Kobe 16 points in 22 mins is good
Those where the positive
I did say to trade up for Ware.
Raptors need another guy if we want to make the play in. Messai messed up letting spicy P go.
Hey THIS is the year to be awful so its ok
A team with Scottie/IQ/RJ is not going to get Cooper Flagg...
Chai has turned out to be crap.
Jamaison Battle is equal to a top second or late first round draft pick
How do you figure? Industry types aren't even sure he'll be with the Raptors later this season?
Luckily most of these guys will never see minutes with the big club..
Raptors’ fans can only hope most of the team’s 2024 Summer League roster will see some significant G-League time before playing again at the NBA level.
Raptors fans jumping the gun and turning on the team and Masai? Shocking! 😂
Yes have a bard season raps the 2025 draft is very very deep it make sense to be bard now
Guys we’re going to suck for 3 years. I think we just need to accept it.
Everyone needs to shut up and chill out. These are all young men In a grown ass men’s league. The best of the best. Do you really expect a rookie who’s just fresh out of college to be a super star right away? Like come on. Yes ochai has looked really bad. But he’s playing way out of position. He’s not a go to scorer. He’s a role player. Role players play a role!!!! CHILL
Cooper Flagg here we come….
Sag for flagg
2 guys are injured... Don't forget!
Its summer league...relax
If this team continues to disappoint ... Masai will be gone next year, he's not quite the genius anymore.
Who aren't you bullish on?
Ayeeee
I'd rather read bot comments than your stupid Ayeeee on every vid.
@@notDonaldFagenAyeeeeee😎
He's (Ochai) is not him, defensive liability and very little offensive upside.
Ochai has been poo
Keep hope with JAKOBE
New Toronto fans have 0 patience
Sag for flagg
I keep telling y'all... Masai is a fraud and is going to ruin the Raptors.
Facts
@Logan69420 with respect, I think you may like to give this retooling period a few years. He is putting together really interesting team to harmonize with Scottie Barnes development curve. And the players that are mostly younger than Scottie are being projected to develop. Scotties playing style is going to be fully realized. 👌
Raptors r not going to be in the playoffs for the summer league this season
Like I said..Lottery Team..
Abaji is god damn awful. He’s an athlete not a basketball player. He stinks 🤮. Tell me one thing he excels at ? He’s not even a good defender
M.FF. Been playing his entire life,but needs to figure out his shooting.Jamals is in the SHEDD! Raptors continue to get worse,every year! I get it you cant keep everyone, but they parted with all ,except the leagues next biggest bust BARNES! WAY OVER PAYED ON THAT CONTRACT!
Looks like massai hates drafting Allstars barns is going to be a bust this team will Need a 2025 carson flagg
This season is shaping up to be a disaster. Last year’s squad minus Gary Trent does not inspire confidence. A complete snore of an off-season as far as I’m concerned. My guess is that the Raptors will be pretty much rock bottom this year.
siakam for kelly is basically the final trade.... pure trash🗑
Ujiri and Webster r two losers. ….fire them .. I need that 80 replies from ujiri husband . Come on now don’t hide. I know who u rrrrrr.
These titles get dumber and dumber… lazy.
