Vivek, love reading what you do. Perhaps a different set of ideas on how to approach the Raptors choice at 9: We have a starting 5 and a couple or 3 good bench players, everubody needs to get better, sure but I’m looking for the outlier. Is there a Giannis in this draft? Don’t think so but is there a Kawhi? Does Cedric Coward have the same potential as Shaedon Sharp, who was picked at 7 and, while he still isn’t a good player, he oozes potential. What about Thomas Sorber? Does he have the potential to be loke Bam Adebayo? . So it’s the outlier I’d be looking for rather than the consensus top 20 guys. But I’m just a rube looking for something exciting and overlooking the obvious choice. Is there an uncommon choice or an obvious choice?
Thank you, Gerry! Yes those outliers are definitely things are look for as we get closer to draft day. As noted in the post, I currently consider Sorber to be a sleeper because of his foot injury that limited his playing time. Will keep it exciting as we go here :)
