considered as a deep draft with potential superstars and quality talent, and probably the most important/significant draft for PH basketball

Draft: July 29,2021, Barclays Center, NY

Top 5 prospects look locked and loaded
Cade Cunningham
Jalen Green
Evan Mobley
Jalen Suggs
Jonathan Kuminga

Fil-Ams with an outside chance of being drafted/signed/G-League
Ron Harper Jr.
Remy Martin

and of course the great Pinoy hope, Kai Sotto, who's sitting outside the top 100 in draft boards

Your Raptors seem to be tanking this season and want their shot at the lottery. Regardless if they get a high lottery pick or not, I expect the Raptors to draft well as usual

Lowry07 · April 2021

Cap, I don't think the Raptors are that bad to finish in the top 5 of the draft, they will probably pick at the 8-12 range. They need a center or a wingman who can create his own shot.

Their young core of Siakam, Fred VV, Anunoby and now Flynn and Trent Jr. were either late 1st round picks, taken in the 2nd round, or even undrafted, so hopefully they will add another capable starter with their upcoming lottery pick.

Yeah but there's higher chances of moving up now for barely lottery teams assuming they don't make a push for the play-in (which seems to be what they're doing). I can't even remember the last time the Raptors missed the playoffs and had a lottery pick. Also, Boucher undoubtedly has the talent to be considered a core player but Nurse has been shackling him.

Cade Cunningham declared for the draft earlier this month, should be picked at 1 or 2.

@Lowry07 now that the Raptors have officially rejoined the lottery, sino bet mo makuha nila if they fall top 3, top 5, or normal lottery range?

Lowry07 · May 2021

Cap, it's only now I paid close attention to the NBA draft again after 5 years, as 2016 was the last time the Raptors drafted in the top 10 (Jakob Poeltl at #9). Securing a top 10 pick was important, so I'm satisfied that they were able to "accomplish" that this season.

I think the Raptors have a chance to jump up to top 4 in the lottery next month, so I would think they would be interested in Jalen Green or Kuminga from Congo. If they stay at number 7 or drop to 8, either pick a wingman from the NCAA or the Aussie kid Giddey, they sent scouts over to Australia to watch him play, so they have some interest in him.

Giddey is over rated

Gusto ko yung Alperen Sengun. Parang laki ng potensyal.

Parang interesting prospect yung Josh Giddey haha, high chance mag bust pero could be a solid starter in the league eventually. Mapunta lang to sa tamang team, goods na
