These Players are Carrying the 2023 NBA Draft Class

[@naailshoaib]

gradey and bilal have taken crazy leaps

[@brandonwilcox5438]

Gradey was TERRIBLE for the first half of last year. it shows not to jude people early because he has turned a major corner hes that guy

[@daudimasinde6280]

I was one of those folks who gave up on him half a season in. Shame on me. Glad he’s picked up the slack.

[@d-bread7722]

That Gleague stint with the 905 did him well. Raps have a great player dev program.

[@oscarmccoy9102]

he was generational bad. I had fully counted the man out. So glad he’s proven me wrong and made such a jump.

[@guy9552]

Bro put in crazy work with the raptors development team

[@kaleb2758]

I really told ppl to keep an eye on him y'all called me crazy!! He had some great flashes from the corner last year

[@Thunderstick-y8h]

I can’t wait until Gradey gets a game winning basket and the announcer yells his last name excitedly !

[@warwolf88]

😂😂

[@rigbythekhajiit]

He needs to play for Charlotte at some point in his career for a whole year of Eric Collins making Dick jokes while calling the games

[@ShanellM]

Gradey Dick has been incredible, was terrible to begin last year, then the coaching staff during the season put him through a 6 week program between NBA and G-League and he came back for the 2nd half of the season playing great, and now your seeing it even more so in year 2, I wonder if they’ll do the same for Ja’Kobe Walter

[@warwolf88]

it's too early to think about that yet

[@liammmmcculloch]

Gradey is on sum ish even without Scottie and iq on the floor

[@vintagepimpage6049]

Gradey will be a max extension at the end of his rookie contract...hopefully we enjoy him well we can afford him

[@Slo_Moses]

How would the Raptors not be able to afford him?

gradey was 19 last year. everyone was calling him a bust even tho he was picked 13th... bros last 5 games: 25pts, 15pts, 30pts, 31 pts, 22pts... at 20 years old... they hated on us for the RJ trade too...RJ's last 5 games: 17pts, 20pts, 31pts, 33pts, 31pts... gradey is 20, RJ is 23, scottie is 22, IQ is 25... got a lot to look forward to for this squad.

[@musikausdemosten]

But none of this guys is an franchise player

[@conwayGAMES]

@@musikausdemosten we have scottie.

[@rileycoleman126]

I’m a raptors fan and I did not expect him to get this much better, his finishing at the rim is insane.

[@LiamEdelshtein]

Gradey - the new Klay Thompson (especially when he takes a mid range pull up fading away)… Love the vids!🙏🏻

[@Hectic2525]

Reminds me of a couple guys from the 90s, Drazen or Reggie.

[@warwolf88]

u doubt the raptors at your own risk we may not always win but we will fight like hell

[@danmaneditz]

🔥🔥🔥 LETS GO RAPTORS

[@saul-goodman]

I got my mom into the Raptors a few years ago after I had been supporting them for a decade, and she was disappointed with Gradey last season. I told her there was another 13th overall draft pick who had a subpar rookie year. A wing like Gradey who was full of raw offensive potential. That player’s name was Kobe Bryant

[@R.B.90]

It seems obvious the Raptors are tank8ng for flagg with all these "injuries" but even if they dont get him i like this core. Barnes, Barrett, Quickley n Dick are 4 solid peices to build around. N if they do get a top 5 pick with their drsfting ability they could add that 5th peice. Tbh even their 2nd round picks this year are giving them solid minutes.

[@lukedowsing9532]

what are you even talking about they're definitely not obviously tanking and faking injuries, scottie legitimately got elbowed in the face and is out as well as quickley who bruised his hip. idk why they'd fake bruce brown and kelly injuries when we probably want to trade bruce and play kelly who we traded for. agree tho that this core is very good as well as jakobe, shead, mogbo, and chomche

[@R.B.90]

@lukedowsing9532 you drank the cool-aid

[@HimDuncan33]

you’re an idiot if you think a broken orbital bone is a fake injury lmfao 😂you the type of moron that would call in for work for a back cramp and complain a player ain’t playing with a strained oblique

[@macdoodles3790]

@@R.B.90No, he’s absolutely right… Barnes has a fractured orbital bones after getting a monster elbow from Jokic, and Quickley went down hard on his hip after getting his legs taken out from under him (I figured he was injured after seeing his hit the court). Those ain’t fake injuries. Now… Are they really concerned about making a playoff push or play-in push? No… I’d agree that that isn’t what this year is about and that they just want to develop.

[@R.B.90]

@@macdoodles3790 must be a discount on cool-aid 😂

[@Ali-wi8bx]

Gradey started the year off pretty bad last year, and while I didn’t give up on him, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried because the one thing we knew he had going for him was his jumper and that looked horrible. However, he had an amazing end to last year, and I expected a sophomore leap this year with some of our guard/wing depth gone so Gradey would get more PT, but I didn’t expect the leap to be to this extent. He looks like he could be the next Klay Thompson with how it’s going right now. He’s been impressive on the defensive end too, and that is something that can’t be seen through the stats

[@1800LUNATIC]

[@ninogagliardini5674]

Bilal Coulibaly starting to becoming a lil kawhi

[@Emile97427]

Visually, he reminds me a lot Scottie Pippen ...

[@ufouk-i5s]

bilal has always been someone i tought could be a great 6th man or nice 2-way player

[@MarloJackson-d7k]

Grady is 2.o klay Thompson

[@jacobway468]

No he’s not lmao

[@Olympiakospp]

Gradey is the real deal. Watch out NBA!

[@SP.007]

2:14 - If everyone gets healthy, soon enough, The Raptors could easily make the playoffs. Right now, coach Darko is just seeing who can do what, possibly in smaller role later on.

[@brandongiannascoli]

Bilal is HIM

[@Fargus990]

Gradey’s leap this year will be biblical

[@Jeffberg42]

Thing I love about Grady is how pretty he looks in the air on those 12 foot midrangers he never seems to miss.

[@VedanthRamachandran]

The Pelicans NEED Hawkins

[@floatgamehoops3117]

One day at a time just blend and space the floor, wizards can be at the top 8 eastern Bilal, Poole, Kyshawn, Kispert, Carrington And the Shotblocks and defensive presence of Sarr & Jonas hope they can trade Kuzma Bagley plus future 2025 picks for NIKOLA VUCEVIC 💪💪💯😊

[@tbonn17]

ausar hasn’t played ?

[@robertridley6966]

You’re completely OVERLOOKING and sleeping on Cason Wallace… This dude is a star… if you put Cason on a team like Toronto or San Antonio, he would be one of the top scorers on that team. Plus he’s an ELITE defender.

[@rabeechowdhury]

Cason wallace is just your generic small guard. There is just way too much competition at the guard position especially given his size. You selling Wallace as the second coming of Steph Curry and Jrue Holiday put together doesn't help his case either.

[@Jbeaming1]

You have not watched enough Toronto or Spurs games to be making a comment like that and Cason is not that nice offensively.

[@piaandersen3220]

Did you notice that the European player are rarely injured ??

[@Therix11487]

Ur delusional if u think raps not making the playoffs... have u watched them play?
