I just started getting back into it. I stopped for a while because it felt like a chore rather than something I love to do. It’s coming back. Life gets hard but you always find your way back to something you really love.
Takeaways: 1. KJ Martin is going to be in the NBA for many years. His feel is catching up to his athleticism way quicker than I thought. 2. Raptors are smart af for bringing on Rico Hines as player development. These runs basically act as a remote training camp for their guys - no wonder their culture is strong. 3. Gary Trent is a bucket.
Like your take on KJ normally he on his high flier tip, but this vid I saw him moving without the ball and making the extra pass for the better shot instead of him taking a good shot
Love this when Earl talks not even about basketball but life some times shit dnt go right life lesson treat everyday like a gift shoot just learned this lesson when my daughter was born. Be a good person
Kevin Punter (guard in the Black “UNDRAFTED” t-shirt playing with Kevon Looney) has one of the best mid range pullups Ive ever seen. He was abusing everybody in this video. He should definitely be on an NBA team and he’s been killing overseas for years.
Christian Koloko is looking better and better with every given day. Rebounding (offense and defence), boxing out, slamming the lobs, tailing on the breakaway runs, blocking shots, oh my. This kid. This kid. This kid can play. I think it just might have been nerves the first few weeks. Now he looks more comfortable with his peers.
Rico is reinforcing the Raps winner culture. What a treat and privilege to be the proverbial fly on the wall. I'm falling in love with this year's roster 1-15.
Good run. Precious is shaking off the rust and looking *much* better today. I see you, Steady Freddy, unveiling your floater/hook shot. That's what's up!!
The young Raptors that continue to make the sincere effort to show up to this run to be together as a unit are the ones that you keep on your team. I love that GTJ came back to work on his craft. It shows that he is serious about improving this year. Cheers Gary!!
5:19 Mann Vanvleet actually makes me so proud to have this man playing for us on the Raptors. His basketball IQ, playing along with Kyle Lowry had to help with this. He worked his ass off, and just his quick thinking with the ball. Even Lowry himself, was never the quickest, most athletic, or tallest pg, so they became a genius out on the court running the offense. They know how to get someone off balance, change of pace, I love it. And doing all of it while keeping their focus on their teammates, and exploiting the weakness of the defense. Vanvleet got a damn smooth jumperr too thoo. 👀
This was the best performance yet of the Raptor core (minus OG). I would love to see Koloko get a lot of minutes this year to show what he can truly do. He is beginning to jell rather nicely with the boys. His presence in the paint is making everything easier for Fred, Gary, Pascal, Downtin and the others. The excitement for the 22/23 is beginning to build.
Koloko is a nice fit, he should make the rotation by mid-season if he keeps progressing this fast. Koloko can guard 1-5. His timing for alley oops is improving. Precious needs to sharpen his 3-pt shot. Dowtin is guarding Fred well. Boucher and Koloko are complementing each other. I wonder how Koloko will manage against heavy bigs.
@@DESOUSAB Lol. He does show up from time to time (but not nearly as frequently as Pascal, Koloko, Dalano and Dowtin). I think Pascal lives in the gym. That guy. haha
@@pampermenetwork You'd think he might have something to say or to prove after the offseason reports that he was unhappy with his role. Not sure why these Klutch players are always involved in some type of crap with their teams...
You know, a lot of people are saying he's replaceable and that he's not as good a defensive player as some think but he is an assassin and I hope the Raptors can hold onto him. They need guaranteed buckets on that team and he is all that.
All hoop fans know that the Raptors will be deep and improve from their performance last season, but the media will once again be surprised because of how much they underrate them
Yeah Gary going to take a major leap this season 🤐 and Boucher? That boy was cooking Koloko he was impressive to watch great improvement… Precious much better than the last two videos. Freddy was amazing to watch great to see him overall the dude were all good.
You guys are in for a huge deception. Scottie and the raps squad went 6-0 that day. Might not see many footages of your supposed all star players. ROTY footage of that run 😂😂😂🥳 Go Raptors!!!!
to see Siakam working as hard or harder than the guys just barely making it in the league. He doesn't need to do it but he does. I didn't think I can respect him any further for a two times all-nba, but he proved me wrong.
Whose off-Szn better than the Raptors....... No ones. If y'all ever think we letting Rico and his team slip to any organization y'all off the wall. He's been raptorized for life!
Let's be realistic, there are 270-300 rotation spots in NBA . 150-180 bench spots. Some players play 15 seasons. Breakthrough requires opportunity and that is very limited in this sport.
Hey man, people can still make a nice living playing basketball overseas. Breakthrough can look differently for some players. Breakthrough might be getting opportunities to hoop in Europe or Asia and make pretty good money still.
Precious has not been impressing me in these runs at all. He's got the worst attitude on the floor, turns the ball over, takes bad shots, and is generally focused on his own performance. Not making the team better. He could be so good he just needs to focus on winning and the rest will come. He forces just about everything and then bitches when he doesn't get a call or loses the ball. Raptors development have a lot on their hands with this guy. He seems like pain to coach. I'm not dissing, he has crazy high potential and is a huge piece but he needs some work for sure and it's mostly on his attitude
I agree. I really like precious but I havent been impressed with or like what I'm seeing in these rico runs for him. I also feel like he complains way to much expecting to get foul calls. He needs to learn to play through the contact and try to get that bucket so he can get an and 1 and if they don't call it atleasthe still finishing getting points. But yeah been tough watching him in these Rico runs. Especially how his trainer was tryna hype him and saying precious should start. Not with that attitude and forcing up bad shots expecting a call.
@@handdownmandown4567 well his trainer was saying he took a step up and needs to be in the starting rotation. And by the looks of these runs he hasn't. He looks like he did at the beguning of the year last Bricking shots and struggling to finish at the rim. But I'm hoping we see an improvement of him
The guy that looks like a mini Kevin Durant is a sniper. I haven't seen him miss any shot attempts whether open or contested, 3pts or 2pts. Who is he and who does he play for?
Kevin Punter, absolute killer and one of the highest paid players in Europe. Playing in Serbia this year, for sure should be in the NBA. One of the best off-the-dribble pullups Ive ever seen
Ive been saying that for years...when he gets the ball back to the basket he stops and holds it too long...Dream would give you a couple shoulder shakes as soon as he touched the ball, something that would cause the defense to react and not relax
I know Gary takes some bad shots, but he makes enough of them. And when Freddy's got the ball in his hands he's Raps best catch and shoot guy. Raptors had a top-6 offence with Gary Trent Jr. on the court and a bottom-6 when he was off
9:41 Achiuwa playing Russel Westbrook style defense... Lucky the guy missed. I know he's supposed to cover the guy behind him but at least put one arm up.

Love the competitiveness between the vet raps and the young guys around @14:00. Fred was getting sick of them lol
He was frustrated with their fouling
was like a nick nurse hard practice where 3 guys on on the IR for a week after lol

This kid can play. I think it just might have been nerves the first few weeks. Now he looks more comfortable with his peers.

I think people forget a lot of Raps players go off continent for fam n friends in off season.
Good to see Precious running aggressively towards the basket again.

Let's be realistic, there are 270-300 rotation spots in NBA . 150-180 bench spots. Some players play 15 seasons. Breakthrough requires opportunity and that is very limited in this sport.

Hey man, people can still make a nice living playing basketball overseas. Breakthrough can look differently for some players. Breakthrough might be getting opportunities to hoop in Europe or Asia and make pretty good money still.
