Appreciate you giving the Raptor players their flowers when it’s due. Would’ve been cool if you covered Ochai Agbaji in this video because of his relation with Gradey and the fans having the same sentiment about him also.

Man I could watch these highlights all day

[@HighWoody]

He became a legend with his jersey swaps.

[@Tam0de]

I could only imagine the amount of work he put in over the summer to come into this season so vastly improved. The evolution was night & day.

[@noahkatzenmeier9576]

I’m from Lawrence, Kansas, so I watched probably every game he played at KU. Gradey is phenomenal at getting people off their feet and attacking the paint. He for sure needs to add strength and some pace to his drives, but there was a layup or two damn near every game where he’d go up, it would look like he took off from too far, and he’d just double pump mid air around the defender and throw up a layup you’d think would never go in, but more times than not, it did. He has natural touch, he just needs a better feel for when to take off and when to keep his dribble alive, he picks it up prematurely far too often for a guy who’s an average athlete

[@calebos268]

This comment section is WILD

[@SARGEinc]

It's wild to write off a guy in his rookie year when he should be a sophomore in college. I understand people lack patience, but the level of NBA players is so high, it's crazy to expect a kid that young to be an impact player.

[@bimapriyoanugerah363]

He is ready to busting that talent this year and splashin all over teams in this season

[@Amaling]

Raptors are continuing to cook. It's certainly no OKC but Presti did a special level of swindling to get to where they are now, and they're further along in rebuild than raptors. If things like drafting in this upcoming class or two continue to be so on-point, it will be a pretty glorious rebuild

[@Blazekip]

Being a fan of the raptors for almost a decade, when I first saw this guy come in and he started to struggle the first thing that I thought was if he gets a jump shot and improves his game within the paint he would come into his own and he has

[@JedoRPG]

I've been watching your videos for a while now but today is the day I gotta sub. Keep it up man.

[@PinkSalmon]

Literally no one thought he was a bust.

[@Cockroach-b7b]

Coach P really cooked iykyk

[@Hoggz_002]

Raptors fans weren’t calling him a bust, people who didn’t watch him did last year

[@Chalifornia27]

Ngl he reminds me of kobe in how he attacks, very comfortable on mid range step backs and pull ups and overall very aggressive

[@SP.007]

1:56 - Drazen Trust Darko and the development staff.

[@IXCANADATV]

Raptors know how to draft that's why I trust my team when there in the draft

[@kjabber7245]

So he is like former teammate Christian Braun from 2 or 3 years ago. I think he's only 20. He'll put on weight and get better at finishing just by having the bulk to absorb contact. I wonder if he'll keep improving. What do they say over there? Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU?

[@twoquickii1330]

Good comparison, they are similiar in size. However, from the start they were seen differently. Braun was recruited decently as just inside a top-100 player with a few offers including Kansas. He matured for 3 years at Kansas and went pro. Gradey Dick was highly recruited everywhere as a McDonald's All American, and the Gatorade National High School POY. Dick's jump shot was seen as truly elite, and he had grown into a true 6'8" frame and was quickly projected a Lottery pick. Braun is deceptively athletic and uses sheer determination with really good basketball IQ. He's turned into an amazing slasher and cutter at Denver with a good jumper. But Gradey is a truly gifted shooter, the form is as good as it gets. Dick's release is so fast and balanced, there is no reason he can't make his midrange as good as it has been this year consistently. He should improve at the rim as he also has a 40 inch vertical. Braun will make a great living in the league, but he will never be a "pure" shooter. Dick should be close to an all star eventually with his Miller-esque jump shot. And yes! We say Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Sorry for the paragraph! Definitely two of the best players actually born in Kansas in a long time!

[@donloder1]

bro knew what he's getting into with that title

[@njabuloayanda17]

fr😂

[@apdrake13]

*NBA fans thought he'd bust *

[@IamAlbert3345]

Because attention spans and social media put such high expectations on rookie players. He was never going to be good out the gates he’s a raw prospect but now he’s a baller

[@NoahLinden]

He must have worked very hard to make this kind of improvement in one year.

[@cadelmao]

Apparently he also put on 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason, so he's set on improving

[@leost152]

After all he has the strength and the size, maybe his story will have a happy ending.

[@mica-hr2mb]

one of those players that had to leave college early due to the money, even though he wasn't ready. But the skills and ability were always there.

[@Law-of-EnTropy]

When I first saw his game, it felt like he'd be a player like Klay if given time and opportunities. Seems he's getting to that point much sooner than i expected

[@JohnKenneth-11]

6:00 made me laugh crazy 😂

[@toptenguy1]

All joking aside, Toronto's MANY injuries this season has helped him a lot. He's gotten TONS of extra playing time.

[@mrglass3617]

Dicks got the long game but he can also go hard to the hole if he has to. Hes become quite the impressive unit.

[@darinvandenborn7278]

Miller comparison I would say is spot on. Watching Grady play and I definitely see similarities to their games . A pump fake couple dribbles n drive . Nothing fancy but effective. If you got a good jumpshot pump fakes will keep your defender of balance just as good as some handles .

[@RedTopSports]

If people actually watched him during those first 20 games they wouldn’t have thought he would be a bust. He was doing everything right, hustling hard and his shots looked good but just weren’t falling.

[@Jeffrey-k1w]

3:56 a lil too early

[@PowerliftingCollege]

To me, his playstyle and flow look more like Reggie than Klay. It's such a pleasure to watch graceful, fluid shooters like this. MIP winner this season for sure if he keeps this up.

[@rianix_5983]

He's just so comfortable and confident around the rim and in general it's beautiful to see. Dick i wasn't familiar with your game 🔥🔥

[@bobothehobo420]

Morons called him a bust. He's a bullseye pick and gets crunch time minutes in games they have no business keeping close.

[@steve.c.74]

Leading draft class in scoring THIS SEASON****

[@troyd366]

I did not for one second count out Gradey. I knew he was good for it. Rookie year is always stiff. Good organizations don’t give up on good players. Gil is a great example of coming off the back of the bench can work wonders for a guy.

[@TCBBB22]

Most right handed shooters prefer to go left but he prefers to go right. His mid range pull up turning right is automatic. That could become his bread and butter.

[@unplugged123]

i appreciate the comments section

[@hou950]

Dick & Scoot best combo

[@lordtraxx4217]

Let me get this right, Dicks a good finisher, a smooth shooter and goes hard at the rim

w vid especially as a raptors fan

[@jaychen8809]

I think its rare to be a 3 point shooter , but has a mean floater too.

[@sixtentore8655]

nobody in real life thought he was a bust, just people creating "hot take" content. His first season was fairly average for a late lottery pick

[@i3_13]

[@AymanTomawis]

He has high potential he'll grow bigger.

[@pewpewTN]

I was mad at the Mavs for not taking him. He has legit Superstar potential. I know it's not politically correct to say, but it's just how it is, people don't realize how athletic he is because of how he looks.

[@JustAThought_0]

Who thought he was a bust lol? Toronto fans especially knew Grady was good, he’s exceeded expectations, but no 1 with sense ever called him a bust.

[@mrfake675]

Dick is also great in the locker room. No matter what the score happens to be the locker room is always a place of joy, because the Raptors love Dick. Some say they even live for Dick.

[@kelbale]

"... just add 10lbs" You don't understand, man. If he had the ability to add muscle OR fat at 6Ft8, he'd have it already. You think he was just laying around last summer? No tall man, who has fully matured, has an easy time gaining weight and he's not going to train as a bodybuilder any time soon. He's where he needs to be. You can wish all you want, but you are seeing his NBA playing weight already. The rest of you jokesters are gonna feel dumb for being immature and losing the opportunity to make rants or raves about his play... soon. Real soon.

[@ellieeliandelliot7439]

I hope Dick continues to grow but not overexpose himself like Primo did.

[@mucktown]

They way he is playing is actually closer to Reggie Miller than to Klay. He moves faster around the screens and is a little bit more athletic than young Klay
