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.

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.

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.

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. 👀

[@pampermenetwork]

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.

[@robertdobosz9681]

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.

[@easyyeye]

I didn’t know Koloko name prior but I do now. He was on the boards and doing the dirty work. Every team needs one of those

[@DESOUSAB]

Koloko is starting to grow on me. And speaking of OG - where is this guy???

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 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.
