Scottie gonna make all nba this season

[@Elkillvis01]

Starting lineup looks good. It's just the bench that looks suspect.

[@dfeliz83]

Our starting 5 is quite solid.... where we will lose our games is in the tooling and developing of the bench... we aren't a deep team. Our front line will eat... but beyond that. Scoring is likely going to be thin when they are off of the floor. The progression of the draft picks IS KEY... until they can start moving as a true unit and hold their own against the benches of better teams... times will be "tough"

[@rickducharme7429]

The bench is a big question mark, but I'm withholding judgement until they play some games bc they might surprise in the depth department. Brown having surgery is definitely a setback from the depth point of view, but it means the young guys will see more minutes which is a good thing in terms of development.

[@rickducharme7429]

Scottie is already amazing, so it's going to be a little difficult for him to win MIP. It's possible for Quickly or Barrett to make a big leap bc they haven't played up to their potential yet. Same for Dick who I expect to take a giant step; but he's a sophomore, so he's not going to win no matter how well he plays. In any case, nobody will be disappointed if none of the Raptors win the award if they improve as a team. I think every fan who paid attention to how the last season went with the disruption of old players leaving, new players arriving, Yak getting injured, and all of that chaos senses that they can win a lot more games this season than they did last year. Go Raptors!

FIRST ANDD THE PURPLE JERSEY BACK YIPPPEE

[@pgauleygale]

I’d like to hear more about who starts the year on the team (spots 11-15) particularly with some disappointing injuries already. I’d like to see Carlson get a chance with some real minutes at C, a 7 footer who can shoot and play D is a rare and important piece if he can handle the NBA game. Super disappointing that Brown is out and now even harder to trade. I think 10th is the most realistic spot and sort of NBA purgatory. Excited to see if Dick slots in and handles starting and can keep up above average 3% at a consistent volume.

nice meeting u at DM this wknd bro 😂👊

[@abilaashbalathasan3494]

If they fight hard my prediction is that they will be in a 5th or 6th seed

[@rickducharme7429]

that's mine as well. It's all about them staying healthy imo.

[@neildcruz3227]

We will see but I don't see us going to the Playoffs Play in at Best!

[@tommosher]

I immediately discount the opinion of anyone who doesn't think sophomore players should be considered for most improved. It's the year they improve the most, I would offer that is the most likely group of players for MIP to come from.

ppl sleeping on the raps

[@soulstice99]

Quickley being paid like Brunson. Hope he lives up to it

[@chm2]

Good enough to not land on a good spot in the lottery.

[@clem9332]

Hopefully good enough for Cooper Flagg

[@arkinsam7733]

even if all of them had new moves this year it will be the same outcome Unless Scottie or RJ becomes more dominant and aggressive....no kore passive mentality...

[@soulstice99]

Poor Yak

[@dfriz8513]

Only 5 players and 50 million in salary away to make the playoffs this year.

[@kuruptflip21]

I think the Raptors will purposely throw games this season, especially against mediocre teams. I can see them beating playoff teams at home to crowd please but ultimately “tank” when they show progress. Once they lock a top 5-7 pick next year they’ll finally sign the necessary vets to secure the foundation of their rebuild. Scottie will systematically be utilized as the number 1 option. Quickley is turning into Maxey 2.0, and I can see Barrett developing into the level of an Ingram/Lavine by the start of the 25/26 season. In summary, they’re more talented than we give them credit for but are strategically playing into the narrative that they are a “bottom feeder” team.

[@mr.t-rex3113]

As good as barnes can Take them

[@cjtalksmovies467]

Play in

[@KanyeDgit]

Garbage minutes are garbage. If you don't play, you don't develop.

[@Xopko]

About as good as the new blue jays i suppose

[@KINGRASHY7689]

As a Knicks fan raptors are trash

[@JBRitchie8]

lol knicks aren't doing much
