Stephon Castle looked good today. He's a tough defender and sees the game well. UConn destroyed Xavier so it was a fairly short outing and not terribly compe ive, but he was a big part of the s acking.
Yeah, I like Tre but definitely want and need an upgrade at the PG position- If we don’t go Topic then it is Risacher or Cody for the SF position with our pick. If we happen to get Raptors pick well that could go a bunch of ways - Kyle, Salaun, Castle, and Dily
Just note that all of these picks will need serious G League play and I don’t see much they will offer us for 25 season
That's my point. Don't go wing because of this, go wing because its the best perceived player.
They're so flush in draft capital, they should be able to acquire, at minimum, a top starter (cut below All-Star) at whatever position going forward.
what about tyrese proctor....Seems to be gettin it together
I still think he'll be in the mix for them, even if he ends up not being in a projected range where they pick.
Again, with this much draft capital, it's time to start manipulating the draft and not just sitting back waiting for their picks.
Yeah he's playing really well lately. Could start moving into the lottery soon.

I would use second round picks but no way am I using any of our first rounders as I will save that for 2025 which looks to be a much better class.
Williams, Salaun, or Buzelis...
Just for the of it I did a single lottery sim on Tankathon after reading this.

This is my ideal Toronto-pick
That would be amazing!!Just for the of it I did a single lottery sim on Tankathon after reading this.
Who is the better rebounder and defender between them
Buzelis has better rebounding numbers, but i don't put a ton of value on ignite based stats... Salaun and Williams are pretty similar. I see Salaun more as a 4 and Williams and Buzelis as more of 3's, however, if they are playing beside Sochan either would be fine because he can guard either spot.
thats tough without the TOR pick. my 2 favorites right now are Cody Williams and Rob Dillingham. assuming we had the TOR pick, i think you could read the tea leaves and try to play it to land both, or even trading some capital to move up and secure both
but with just 1 pick... probably Dilly. we've seen what a massive difference a point guard makes for Wemby, now we gotta crank that up to 11 by adding great outside shotmaking as well
point guards are usually the ones who struggle the most out of the gate. this year, scoot off to a slow start. amen barely playing. black has defended fine but still really needs to learn the ropes. bufkin in gleague. hood-schifino struggling. cason wallace is playing well, though not really playing as an initiator much at all yet. the best point guard from last year's draft right now is what, Nembhard? from 2021, Cade has been fine, but nothing else from the PG position.
i think even with dillingham, you dont operate under the assumption that he's coming in as a day 1 starter beating out a solid NBA vet like Tre. he gets a year to learn, and then you probably end up letting Tre walk at the end of his 2 year deal if you feel good enough about Wesley by that point. and you can always find a cheap vet to be the PG3
To me the upgrade priority is small forward. We have point guard settled at least for now. Calls for some superstar or even an All-Star at the position place too much need there. Tre is more than fine. I love Julian, he just doesn't provide a lot as a starter.
Whether it's through the draft or otherwise, that's my key right now, although there are other needs to address as well. This draft has a number of SFs that will be available, each bringing a different package of value in Buzelis, Holland, Ruzacher, Williams.
It's Zaccharie Risacher they are looking to team with Wemby.
Buzelis Is The Most Polished Player Of The Lot. People Want To Penalize Him For Being In The G League, But He Has A Lot Of Offensive Moves In His Bag That Makes His Upside That Much Greater Than The Others.
to inconsitent at shooting....We need shooters are consitent.
Nah, We Lack An Offense. We Don’t Lack Shooters.
Again I'm not really sure what offensive moves Buzelis has in his bag.
We’ve Seen Wemby Kick Out To Our Shooters Plenty Of Times. The Problem Is Our Rhythm And Flow. The Offense Didn’t Have An Iden y For Much Of The Year, And It’s Starting To Have One With Wemby Now At The Center Of Everything. The Next Step Is To Find Another Person Who Can Generate His Own Offense And Not Looking Uncomfortable Doing It (Vassell).
One good thing about Buzelis is he's used to losing pretty much every game he's in.
