  • In Episode 1638, Sean Woodley goes solo to take a look at a trio of intriguing potential options for the Toronto Raptors with the 19th (or 31st) pick in the 2024 NBA Draft: Florida State wing Jamir Watkins, California guard/wing Jaylon Tyson and G-League Ignite stretch big man Tyler Smith. Off the top, Sean digs into why Watkins, a soon-to-be 23-year old, do-it-all 6'7 wing with all sorts of long-term role player potential might just be his favourite potential Raptors target with the 19th pick. Next, Sean takes a look at Tyson, whose circuituous college career probably has his incredibly crafted and smoothe offensive game going under the radar going into the draft. Lastly, Sean breaks down Tyler Smith's stretchy but somewhat narrow skillset, and digs into whether it might be worth the risk for the Raptors to take a look at a guy who might be the best shooting big in the draft.

    There’s a zero % chance Watkins goes at 19. Not sure what the hell you’re thinking dude. That’s insane. Tyler smith maybe Tyson is more likely at 31

      i think any sort of declarative statement about where anyone between 15 and 45 is gonna go in this draft just kind of misses the point of what this draft is

    Watkins Walkins seems like a 2nd round guy, if he's 19ish on a mock please post a link. I see nbadraftroom has him at 29, no ceiling has him at 49. I do like your thought process of a 2-way wing. What about Ryan Dunn or Ware?

    • @LockedOnRaptors
      @LockedOnRaptors  Před měsícem +1

      Ware's more a big, and I think the concerns about his motor are a little alarming. Dunn is not just not a two-way wing. At once the best defender and worst offensive player in the class.

    • @LockedOnRaptors
      @LockedOnRaptors  Před měsícem +1

      also on the mock stuff, this year's mock drafts are so all over the place I think because the draft is all over the place. I'm just kinda making my own personal board based on what I'm watching and reading about guys + what the handful of folks I really trust are saying. I think it's silly Watkins isn't being mocked higher, personally.

    Sean, would love to hear your thoughts on some Raptors-y wings that could be there in the 31-to-undrafted range like Trentyn Flowers, Pacome Dadiet, Jonathan Mogbo, and Jalen Bridges. I’m with you on Jamir Watkins but despite the shooting limitations I’m hitching my wagon to Ryan Dunn at 19.

    There is no way that Jamir Watkins will be selected at 19. I have seen mocks where he is not even on the board. If they are available, I think someone like Da Silva, Tyson or Carrington would be far more likely.

    At 19 its highly unlikely you hit the jackpot. Thats why you go with players that can contribute right away. Solid players that still have upside. I'm liking Nikola Djurisic,
    Tyler Kolek, Mark Sears and Zach Edey.

    • @LockedOnRaptors
      @LockedOnRaptors  Před měsícem +1

      yeah I am with you in general, which is why I'm big on Watkins and Tyson. Edey I am really not sure about, and I think his defensive footwork is something that could be kind of problematic. Definitely intrigued by Kolek, very worried about Sears' size.

      ​@@LockedOnRaptorsWatkins brings an all-around game. Tyson brings a specialized skillset. Both could be contributors in the right situation.
      I like Koleks high level processing and floor general skillset. He can also score too. I feel Kolek would open up the offense and have great benefit for our shooters.
      Although Sears is small and that will be an issue on defense, I feel his offensive capabilities and craftiness would make up for it.

    Jamir Watkins at 19 is way too high ,maybe 19th in the second round or underrated free agent.

    • @LockedOnRaptors
      @LockedOnRaptors  Před měsícem +1

      this is a role player draft, and it's a flat talent pool. I don't really buy the idea of a "reach" at 19 in a draft where there's a case for a ton of guys to go between 15 and 40.

    Tankathon doesn’t have Watkins in the top 70 prospects. And you want to take him at 19? Dude we can get him Undrafted for sure.

    Dude pleas find another team to talk about. You don't know what your talking about one bit.
    you need to have some conscious.
    Raptors need Power forward or C
    When was the last time they draft a big yet they get man handled by every single bigs
    around the league. If I am choosing a wing its because he is the best man up next

    • @LockedOnRaptors
      @LockedOnRaptors  Před měsícem +1

      it's almost like they need multiple types of players, and it's almost like I talked about a big man on today's show

      This team needs multiple players, but the need a big man. A franchise quality starting Big. Be advise Raptors fans are one of the dumbest in the league, that's because they don't have good examples.
      Leafs lost for 50 years straight no one cared, now if they lose. fire the coach, get rid of Marner. Thing are different now fans are educated and they wont stand for bull.
      Thats what Raptors needs education. Fans regurgitate every thing they hear, my thoughts are my own. I don't repeat what people say.
      Barnes is mixed up, he is the wing player you keep wanting to draft.
      Raps have SG s, Bouche should be on the way out. Pascal & OG is gone.
      Who are your Bigs Kellys is going in 14th year and Jacob is a career 8 pts 6 rb player. HELLO.
