Pastor Dillon Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Idk what to think about him, he did go to the finals but he also had the best team in the conference. Idk what he can do with these young guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better young potential on the roster. Potential top pick, a ton of cap space. Raptors is basically stuck being mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sengun is solid but his ceiling is probably a role player. Jabari Smith’s ceiling is probably the 3rd best player on a title contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has tools to work with. Hopefully Udoka can unleash it out of him. Sengun is a very good piece and Jabari just completed his rookie year and he finished strong. Not to mention they have Tari Eason, and KJ Martin as well. Thats why this offseason is going to be huge for the team to add vets to the roster and compliment the young core.

I’d also wait to see if the Cleveland job becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Raptors players have already reached their ceilings. I dont expect Siakam, Anuoby and maybe Barnes to be any better than they already are. Not to mention they might lose Van Fleet to free agency this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't any of the current Rockets players ever even reaching the current level that Siakam is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalen Green can, but thats just one player on the Raptors and they are mediocre with him being the best player on their roster. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Its weird to me he didn't wait to see the landscape settle and all jobs that were open before he pulled the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
