It is definitely a rebuild. I expect them to miss the playoffs, but if Scottie, IQ, Dick, Barrett, and other young pieces develop enough to take the team to a play-in spot, I think they value that just as much as a good draft pick - especially since it seems like management is confident in their ability to find players at any spot in the draft.



Still trust Masai a lot, and would easily take him leading this team over anyone else. There are a lot of bad executives and GMs in this league, but he's far from being one of them. Getting IQ and Barrett for Anunoby and being able to get multiple picks and a backup PG at the draft for one of the worst players in the league in McDaniels were good reminders of what he could do. Now that the direction is clearly defined, I think there will be less confusion.



It's just Summer League, I've really liked the showing by some of the Raptors new picks. Chomche is extremely raw but I'm intrigued by what he could be with development time. Hoping we get back to the times where we found guys like FVV, Siakam, Anunoby, and Powell out of nowhere.
