Fear not then good sir, in a Raps uniform he had 1 more rbd, 2 more assists, 0.2 more steals and 1.5 more points than what Ben showed there. So yea, good call on the stats lol

I hope boucher gets dealt. 😂 Guys been in the league for years and still weighs less than 160

@@rickducharme7429 The analysts low ball us no matter the cost. They actually seem baffled about our team like we are the Chicago bulls or something. They are a mess and we got a bunch of young talent yet feels the same in their eyes. Vucevic isn't half as good as Poeltl, SB wayyyy better than Giddey, and on and on. Plus their ages vs ours

@@ScottieDPOYY 100%. i'm geeking hard rn for the season to get started. i'm loving the moves, trades, and draft picks. a big surprise is coming for those guys imo

@@rickducharme7429 Yea I can see it, I still greatly question our depth but I don't even think thats a bad thing. We 6 months into a rebuild, ofcourse we going to have young unproven talent. I do think our roster is super balanced though compared to before and that the east is pretty bad minus to the top seeds so I can easily see is getting to a 7th 8 seed vs what the analysts think of us landing at 12th or something. Personally, I just happy we onto a new chapter, with a balanced roster to produce good actual ball with and a coach that doesn't like ISO heavy basketball. Will be fun watching Darko work with a healthy squad that likes to pass. So even if we get injured and finished iwth the 10th seed (not saying we will), I will still be happy to see development and good ball being played. At worst we will be a very tough out and hopefully our Defence picks back up and become that long old pest team we always were. Anyway, I half with ya. I certainly more optimistic than most, but can see it not going SUPER good as well. Even thats still better than most would say

@@rickducharme7429 Boston Philly NY Milwaukee Cleveland Indiana Miami Orlando We would have to be better than 1 to 2 of those teams to get to 7 8 seed. Who knows man, who knows

@@ScottieDPOYY nobody knows is the answer, of course, and least of all me, but based on what we can take away from last season and the olympics as well as from the trades and the draft i think we can expect the first part of the season to be difficult. we have no way of knowing about injuries which can be a huge factor for this team. i just feel like the talent, the brain trust, and the coaching all point to something very good once this team finds itself. that will take time, but the question is how long? they're in a tough division with a tough schedule and i don't expect early success in terms of winning very many games, but for those of us looking at the bigger picture success will be measured in progressive development with the wins coming later in the season. bottom line for me is the quality of the leadership from the head office down to the players on the court. i believe the execs are outstanding, that they have the right coach, and the players are young and have a lot of talent, so for me the potential for success is already pretty much in place. we will be frustrated and disappointed if we expect them to start winning early on, so maybe we ought to just accept that the wins are going to come later. we watched an ugly season last year, but it was also very interesting, and by the end we could see encouraging signs, and that there is a commitment to build a championship team for the long run. two things: poetl can play and he can and did make a big difference when he was healthy. he's solid and they're going to need him to stay healthy bc they won't win without a centre. secondly, grady dick is going to be a star imo, and he will shock a lot of people who watched him have a tough rookie year. maybe they missed the part where he showed grit and determination and that he found his game toward the end of last year. i remember thinking to myself that he had to muscle up before he could really succeed and play up to his potential, and that's what he did. what are your thoughts? i could be in la la land. i've been there before lol. enjoy the season.

@@vintagejo4159 RJ is young, since joining us and in FIBA he has played really good. He scored 20 against the good teams for us, picked up all his shooting %s across the board. New situation and new town, new teamates and you expect him to regress? No faith again. No, we don't have a great bench. Their young, we have loads of unproven talent, we have been rebuilding for 6 months.. complain about them in a year or two

iq and maxey comparison to jason kidd style? i dunno about that

@@vintagejo4159 Thats how he won 6th man of the year? His scoring and defence off the bench? Kid you have a problem with everything. He has playes good defence for multiple years now. He was bad with us, but oh well? Have some faith... I seen other comments were you hating too for no reason..

@@ScottieDPOYY men I have fait in iq shooting lights out IF they LET HIM PLAY HIS GAME.?…..shoot. ..But this raps org is gona demand max min, 2 way game, and 20 plus points .you watch and see and they r probably right since they paid him 3quater of max. Now his d was probably only decent cause he came off the bench with limited min. Wait until Ujiri play him over 35 min per game ….. and naw men I don’t HATE …I just see things from a different angle …I don’t like being a SHEEPLE.. I like to question things ? Having a different narrative is ok or else we might as well live in North Korea. Lol

@@vintagejo4159 He has always had a two way game lol, if his defence slacks back, thats pretty typical for star guards. I don't see why we are assuming he becames trashcan on that end. What we are going to ask him is to become a better floor general and just improve as a player overall. Thats typically what you ask of young guys. You act like they are expecting Magic Johnson out of him with elite defence but I don't think they are? Ujiri also doesn't play him 35 mins a game, Nick Nurse did that and he is gone? althought 35 mins a game is pretty typical for your starting PG, its the 42 mins a game that are ridiculous. Which Fred played aLOT of. So you essentially want him to stay as a 6th man? Scottie is supposed to what, score 50 points a game? Whata re you saying lol, you think him taking on more responsibility than a 6th man is bad why? Player progression is dumb? How do people make it to the NBA if they never improve? Nothing you say makes any sense dude, maybe in your head its not whiney but its the same negative nonsense everytime I see your name? Why? WHY. Repeat the same things over and over man. Worse is its all wrong lol. Why.....

@@ScottieDPOYY bro everyone speak about iq like if they follow him throughout his whole career . Many of raps fans never paid any attention to iq coming off the bench in ny but they all of a sudden see him as the superstar that raps miraculously found.lol iq is a shooter period. Forget about the clips that you seen of him on RUclips from his previous spell with Ny. . I am making a prediction which all of these commentators on RUclips do and you call me whining. Lol. I am simply saying that pushing iq to be everything which ujiri has a history of doing will lower his game . Grow yes as a player but don’t push..( I know I know it not ujiri it’s the coach , it’s the assistance coach it Webster it everybody but ujiri lol).

@@vintagejo4159 Look man, I will leave you be. I guess I just hope I said enough in the few chats we had you must see I have been right on a lot. Whether I was right about it all? I won't claim that but everytime I scroll through the community its 85% complaining, 5% actual basketball chat, 5% praising something and 5 % of people like me telling everyone to stop complaining. I dunno, if some of it made sense or some of it was new complaints I could understand but most times its just complete lies and just living in the past. You do you, I leave you be, but dang dude, maybe be a fan of your team? They here to stay, no one in the right mind is getting rid of Masai, he is still saught after to thus day and would be paid handsomely the moment we let him go for a reason. Anyway, sorry for the grief. Good luck our therw

/ shooting center

Yak's defensive analytics are similar to Gobert, what are you smoking? We got one of the best anchors on earth lol

@@ScottieDPOYYyak the most overhated and underrated player on this team. People just seem to forget or maybe didn’t watch the complete lack of defense and size in January when he was hurt when we had no real center, and during the tank when olynyk was the starting center. The team is so much better when poeltl is playing, and any other similarly priced center wouldn’t be an upgrade in the Darko system.

Drummond to PHI, JV to WAS.

@@ScottieDPOYY no way is poetl a rim protector even close to gobert what are you smmokin, poetl is good but hes not a rim protector

Yak is one of the few Centers who is actually big enough to hang with Big Centers and he been a top 5 anchor for years now lol. What are you talking about? Who we supposed to get? Embiid somehow? Who are these bigs we need so desperately and how we supposed to get them today? Yak rebounds at the same rate as the best rebounders (rebound %), he affefts shots at the rim at Gobert level and leads the league a lot of years in FG%. Plus he is an above average passer at the position. What on earth are you talking about lok

@ScottieDPOYY I guess your definition of "hang" is different than mine. Stay positive👍

​@@fit_man_cam1713 Who are some Centers who can hang with an Embiid or Jokic? Name some who are better. Also never heard who we are supposed to get? Just trying to get some answers for the infinite amount of blind and stupid Yak hate that keep resurfacing everytime a Raps channel makes a video. No one can give answers and everyone seems to ignore the real stats that show how wrong they are. Please, be the first to show me up, I would love some clarity lol Also, stay positive? Why so gey and isn't it you who are being negative about a Raptor?

@ScottieDPOYY Of course stay positive as a Raps fan, just not about Jak. Is that so difficult to understand? Jak doesn't move the needle. Period. That's my point. He's slow, gets switched ad nauseum, can't shoot beyond 3 feet, pick and roll D and O are sub par, not to mention free throws. It's time to move on, or the Raps are stuck in mediocrity as him in the middle. And who said anything about getting Embiid? Even someone like Koloko if he's healthy would be a step in the right direction. Maybe learn to debate without the name calling? Maturity is a good thing.

@@ScottieDPOYY I think some of these guys spend too much time listening to Pensare basketball. I hear a lot of his ideas spouted off as their own. I like Yak. He does so many good things both on offence and defence. However in today's NBA, he needs to expand his range at least out to 15 ft., and most definitely work on his abysmal Free Throw shooting.

Bro it’s so funny non of these can do a show about the bench , defence or where the other point coming from . Lol

Poetl 10, Dick 13, Chomche 50

@@chadwellington2524 bro …stop..lol

Our Center was out a lot and when he did play we were fine. We added Bruno Fernando on top of that and Kelly O can hang with back up bigs.. just not starting bigs. What should we have done? Was someone available that we missed? Does everyone forget how injury riddled we were last season?

@@ScottieDPOYYpeople forget about the stuff rj and iq went thru too

@@DCranYT Yea, tons of new players in and out of the line up. New roles for guys, RJ playin likr an All Star too and somehow an afterthought. Just baffling how much weight people hold in that last ridiculous season..

@@ScottieDPOYY exactly. the only sucky part that came with all that is losing the pick we deserved for those troubles but like most franchises, we just gotta move on and look forward to the best 🙏🏽

RJ is going to be a 23ppg scorer. Barnes is working hard. He should be atleast a 21 pt scorer. Dick will also prob flirt with 14 points. This team is def prob in the video room to become better defenders as a team. They're not small nor slow.

@@paulwall7045 The dream is that Gradeys bulking up lets him hang at the 3 position and move RJ back to the 2 so he can bully ball and maybe be a better defender there. I mean time will tell but that would solve a lot of team building issues

Aren't they relaxing the rules on defense so they cut down on phantom fouls? If the league allows defenders to actually defend then scoring will go down.

@@yzerfitz I actually came back to say just that. Supposedly a real change this year.. they did change some small stuff even last 2 years that half stuck anyway

@ScottieDPOYY If they eliminate the ridiculous type of calls that guys like Harden get, then I will be extremely happy. The parade to the free throw line for bs calls has hurt the game.

Do you know how good Penny Hardaway was was? I don't think SB will reach Penny Hardaway's level much less IQ.

​@@IceManLikeGervin say Penny's peak was top 5 in the league. If Scottie reaches top 10.. I not sure we need to slander him over that. Completely different roles.. Scottie keeps getting better too, his ceiling isn't decided yet

@@ScottieDPOYY Look up the definition of slander... no one slandered SB. All the best.

@@IceManLikeGervin WOAHHH, you got Bub WAY WRONG, now you taking slander as an attack on your character. There are varying degrees of slander by the way. That all the best is so pretentious too, you sound like you are WAYYY above me everytime you do it. You mad at me but boy are you a salty little boy. Way to turn nothing into something.. Change the word slander into sleight if it makes you happy. Later kiddo

@@IceManLikeGervin I bet you never been punched in the face huh? It shows.. "all the best" 🤓🤓

You new around here? It's what we do, bro.

Puurrfect, maybe even Pear-fect Ya love to see it

The pronunciation of certain words is similar to Scottish, Irish, Australian, New Zealand or one of those accents.

@@mikeyjames Yea yea, bit of a growl to it almost lol. I lived in St. Johns for 6 months before though.. Bens is quite tame compared to some. Some talk super fast, can't understand a word of it lol. My accent isn't that thick either, feels bad

Yes, the returning bench players aren't great. Hopefully a couple of the rookies will develop quickly.

Didn't he have like 17 ast vs the Suns

He avg like 6-7 with us

In his first stint as a main ball handler for what, 25 games? He averaged 7 assists.. it already happened, no need to wait. With tike maybe he gets to 8 assists and Barnes 8 assists. Thats a ton of distribution from 2 guys, plus RJ flurting with 4 assists. Only so many dimes to go around

Rs tho

It’s not about his assists it’s about the type of assists and passes he generates. He doesn’t have the best vision or ability to set up others I hope that improves.

It was a small stint and new role. + barnes went down around the end. Our bench was light. RJ stepped up. IQ stepped up and Dick stepped up. This team is solid with good rookie additions.

You are basing your analysis of this team based on a coule of injury riddled months on a team that was completely new to each other?

Ayeeeee

Contract is bad tho
