Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5206678, member: 1969"] Your team was viewed as the favourite when I looked at the projected standings (using rotisserie format) that was available on draft night. I was going to take Scottie Barnes with my second pick, but felt taking him at #12 was too high -- I certainly would have taken him between #15-#20 My concern with Scottie is that he is a strong candidate to "sit" for end of season tanking. The Raptors are putting all the words out there cautioning people about expectations, its a "developmental" year, and that they look to continue to add to their base. Because of the idiotic Jacob Poeltl trade in Feb 2023, they either owed their first round pick to San Antonio in 2024 or 2025. They got it over with in 2024, and they are prime contenders to tank hard in 2025. [/QUOTE]
