Who else believed in gradey when the shots werent falling 😎

[@philojudaeusofalexandria9556]

He massively improved from the beginning of last year. Credit to all the hard work he put in, but it wasn't a given that he would take this step up to be a solid starter in the league. Still a lot more work to do to get to All-Star level.

[@GoodGame391]

I was defending him like a mofo when people were calling him a bust simply because of his high iq, shooting mechanics and work ethic.

[@Htiy]

⁠@@philojudaeusofalexandria9556the weight gain and confidence definitely helped him improve but those first couple months he was doing a lot of the right things just couldnt shoot to save his life

[@notDonaldFagen]

He showed he could rebound, make sneaky passes and somewhat finish at the rim in his first summer league. I didn't even care about the shooting.

[@Htiy]

@@notDonaldFagen exactly. His form was too good not to fall eventually, and everything else already looked solid to build off

[@blais65ro]

Gradey wil be key to our next chip.The young man is so cerebral in the way he carries himself at this young age.

[@ElHoggz__]

It’s a shame we have one of the hardest schedules to start but I honestly think everyone’s been holding their own considering the injuries we have

[@ScarboroughMans]

The more losses the better! Cooper Flagg to Canada!

[@guy9552]

Its not a shame really. Gives the team more grit

[@warwolf88]

a hard starting schedule is a good thing it reveals the teams flaws and who on the team has the grit to win and who needs to get fired

[@Steven-b2f7m]

He is our superstar

[@sidoniomarscalle9828]

Gready looking good ! Scottie needs to figure out a go move when he gets in trouble. His midrange is still terrible. Once Scottie gets a reliable shot that will open up his game

[@maxcali863]

They need to control the ball more effectively. Foundational efforts like playing hard, defending, rebounding, and managing turnovers aren’t about advanced skills-they're about habits and consistency. A young team can improve on these quickly because they rely on focus and discipline, not complex techniques. Committing 20 turnovers in a game is costly, as it not only offers the opponent additional scoring chances but also drains a team’s energy, running back and forth without results. In this game, 10 of the 20 turnovers came from Scottie Barnes and Ochai Agbaji, while DJ Carton and Fernando contributed another five. These types of mistakes often end up tipping the game toward the opposing team, especially if they're efficient in converting turnovers into points.

[@Nk789013]

Love this kid ..he was amazing

[@warwolf88]

a hard starting schedule will show the team who has the grit to win and who needs to be let go at the trade deadline😊

[@Steven-b2f7m]

Call Cooper flag and the team we have will win multiple championships

[@rulz2663]

We got our SG!!

[@blessingjay8076]

You mean SF he's almost 6'8. Only thing holding him back is his defense. But hes an excellent player. Very soon it'll be hard to guard him cos he doesn't only shoot. He does so many different things

[@Htiy]

@@blessingjay8076its even better if sgs are defending him

[@feelsgoodman420]

make gradey and scottie switch contracts. i've seen enough

[@MedicinalBlood]

Just found out y’all kicked a fan out of the game for wearing a hat that said Palestine. 🇵🇸 y’all fucked up. What kind of pathetic shit is that?

[@raptorsfan6076]

If OA can consistently shoot 3s like tonite then who u've as our starting SG when RJ's back? 😅

[@ScarboroughMans]

Scottie isn’t looking good offensively. If that doesn’t change it’s a big problem.

[@philojudaeusofalexandria9556]

It's hard when you're surrounded by Gradey, Jak and g-leaguers. RJ, Quick, and Kelly will make a huge difference.

[@jadenpereira5010]

He still had 20pts and 8 ast so your wrong

[@PShoota43]

@@jadenpereira5010 19 shots for 20pts???

[@jadenpereira5010]

@@PShoota43 so what when your the main target for defence you tend to struggle especially for players who are surrounded by guys on way contracts and are adjusting to a leadership how y’all so Simple minded?

47% fg and you acting like it's the end of the world. Smh​@@PShoota43
