This is a SERIOUS Concern for Raptors Fans…

The Toronto Raptors are on a serious losing streak right now but a lot of raptors fans have come to terms have come to accept the reality of where the Toronto Raptors are at I mean they made a ton of Trades ahead of this year’s trade deadline dealt away a lot of our

Vets are star players in order to build for the future focus on a timeline that is in future seasons and even though they didn’t want to be this bad for the second half of the year they had a ton of injuries that sort of led to the circumstances led to this extreme losing

Streak I mean moscotti out yaka purle out heck even bue RJ Barrett out of the lineup for a bit Emanuel quickley this team really had no hope and it led to this drastic losing streak the team has been on however there’s one thing that has a lot of Toronto Raptors concerned

Because a few things have played out a certain way that affects and kind of contradicts the direction that the Toronto Raptors are currently going in so we’re going to break down the major concern that a lot of Toronto Raptors fans have about the close to this season

And how it could impact the team in the future and whether or not it’s something we should actually worry about but before we dive into that folks again over 51% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel we want to keep you up to date with all of the

Latest Toronto Raptors news and how the fans are feeling about this team because again the losing is one thing we’ve come to accept it it is what it is but we are building for the future this Toronto Raptors team made trades made teals that focus on bringing in young talent that

Develop around the Scotty Barnes timeline and a bunch of draft picks that can build up this team’s asset Capital you know build up the sort of potential players in the future I mean look at our draft Capital we’re looking pretty solid in terms of first round second round

Picks you know for this team’s future so that’s the direction the Toronto Raptors are going in and the Raptors have had a history of hitting on a lot of draft picks or at least gain the reputation as an organization that has had some major sort of wb’s in the NBA draft

Particularly during the 2010s there were some major hits during this sort of mess you Jerry run as a leading the front office for the Raptors group I mean this is all the draft picks the Raptors have specifically made under Messiah jer’s tenure and obviously the first go round

Brutto kaboko didn’t really work out too well but following that I mean Delan Wright was a really great value pick for the 20th overall selection then we had Fred Van vit yaka perto Pascal cakam in 2016 which were all three just home runs in terms of where they were drafted

Maybe you could say sabonis was better than purle but we end up trading purle for kawhai so that uh that ended up being a win in itself OG an anobi again at 23 that’s an amazing value for his sort of selection so there were three years there and obviously Norman Powell

Was in that draft selection as well where messiou Jerry had some bangers had some absolute W’s in terms of draft selection but then on the back half of his Raptor’s tenure there were there were more misses than than hits for Messi jury I guess that’s the only real

Way to put it I mean Duan Hernandez again 59 overall pick no one’s going to get too mad there but trade away that pick didn’t really do much for the Toronto Raptors Jaylen Harris another kind of Miss Malik Sky Flynn didn’t work out for this group and we’re going to

Discuss him then we had David Johnson d o Bandon and Scotty Barnes who is a major hit for this Raptor Organization for this Raptor team Christian Koko again I’m not blaming the the Toronto Raptors front office on this that was a health issue that really derailed his

Career so I’m not calling that a Miss I’m not throwing that on the backs of the Toronto Raptors but then Grady dick who obviously looked good during his rookie season but you never really know to your at least two three years down the line to where you can really grade a

Draft selection so the Raptors again not perfect hits Scotty Barnes was an absolute home run at that fourth overall selection but other than that no crazy dramatic just W’s for the Tron Raptors but also not a huge sample size in terms of draft picks so what’s going on there

Did the scouting reports of the Toronto Raptors change did things you know go off the rails a little bit no I don’t think that’s the case because again we’ve seen a couple things and this is where this narrative has really sparked that a few of these draft selections

That had some hype that got Raptors fans excited at certain times as well over the past few seasons when they left the Toronto Raptors they ended up performing really well again yesterday I did a sort of half asleep sort of surprise shocked rant last night about Malachi Flynn

Putting him 50 points for the Detroit Pistons in last night’s game now again he didn’t find his footing with the Knicks he hasn’t been putting up the greatest stats for the Detroit Pistons other than this 50-point game I mean I broke it down last night’s video and

Also on the court side digest video if you want more uh content from me I’m back on court side digest so definitely check out that channel for uh the latest NBA news but Malachi Flynn again having a moment on another team but the more drastic sort of Miss that Raptors fans

Have sort of discussed is obviously Delano Banton who’s just been on an absolute tier for the Portland Trailblazers right now averaging 18 points per game five rebounds four assists over his last 19 games which is a really sizable sample size you know shooting 36% from behind the three-point

Line again didn’t really find his footing with the Tron Raptors some’s external to the team again didn’t really have his uh you know felt like he was tough playing in your hometown lots of distractions and stuff like that but that was uh you know another Toronto Raptor Prospect that’s thriving

Elsewhere and even OG anobi he is stepping up for the New York Knicks again dealing with some injuries and stuff but played 528 minutes over his first 15 games in New York and then they even he had a plus 80 282 in those 528 minutes for the New York Knicks that’s

The highest plus minus by any NBA player in NBA history over their first 15 games with the new NBA team it’s better than po Chris Paul rashed Walsh Steve Nash so some big Hall of Fame names on that list ogn and Obi suceeding again maybe an obscure stat but a guy that’s thriving

With his new organization even Pascal seak to a lesser extent because he was a beast of the Tron Raptors but has increased his efficiency has increased his three-point percentages all these types of things after he gets dealt away from the Toronto Raptors so what’s going on here because Raptors

Fans are looking at the this and especially where some of these draft selections again later round picks which it’s hard to have a strong hit rate on late first round second round draft picks but when they leave the Toronto Raptors they’re just thriving they’re having opportunities to to play really

Well it’s not to say they’re horrible for the Raptors but we’ve seen some success stories after they’ve left this Raptor group some people are looking at this team and saying hey the the scouts on the Toronto Raptors are pretty Elite especially with the hits that happened early on in the

Toronto Raptors so this FR an office’s tenure but can this team really develop young Talent obviously Scotty Barnes is a success story but outside of him there’s been a lot of Misses there are a lot of players that just haven’t really come into their own haven’t achieved

Expectations that a lot of people are hoping for we can look at other prospects like Precious auua who right now with the New York Knicks is having double digit rebound nights just absolutely balling for the New York Knicks looking like a steal for the Knicks in terms of that trade package I

Mean there’s a lot lot of young players that just haven’t really come into their own the same way we were hoping for if we were you know I S projecting this Raptors team to sort of develop take their next step take that next jump and that has some Raptors fans concern given

The fact that we are currently the future of our franchise depends on our ability to develop young Talent obviously it’s on the scouts which I think there some people have been overstaying the misses in the drafts we haven’t had that great of you know draft positioning I mean our only real lottery

Pick lately has been Grady dick and Scotty Barnes and both of those guys seem like solid acquisition so I’m not really stressed about the other players in this draft but I mean the way that you can develop talent and also the Raptor sort of revolving door of

Prospects they’ve had over the past two months I mean again you have a whole pool of NBA free agents European players wherever the heck you want to pull in front you know different leagues across the world to bring into this Raptor organization and we just haven’t really

Have any guys that just took over and this is the thing that really separated the torona Raptors in the T because we were able to find Talent out of nowhere we were able to pull that needle the ha stack that really just turned into a beast for this Raptor team and it seems

To be something that we haven’t been able to do lately whether it be due to development or you know just misses in terms of selections whatever criticism you want to throw about that those selections that’s that’s your up to your interpretation but the Raptors have to

Get this right they have to be able to select the right draft selections they have to be able to scout players and they have to be able to develop them in order for the future of this team to actually be intact to be in a really solid position moving forward to build

Around Scotty barns develop RJ Barrett to develop Emanuel quickly develop gr dick develop all these younger guys that we have on this team into actual NBA players into guys that can impact winning and hopefully the short-term future and again I don’t want to get overzealous and get excited about some

Players you know immediately turning this Raptor team around again there’s lots of things that have to be fixed firstly players have to come back into the lineup but even like an oai abaji we want him to be able to come come into this Raptors organization and Blossom

Live up to the potential that he definitely has out there on the court so again there’s a concern that the Raptors aren’t able to develop talent I think it’s too quick to draw that sort of serious concern again it’s something we should definitely look at be aware at

You know discuss but the Raptors until they miss a more higher level draft Talent then that’s when I’m going to be a little bit more worried and again we’ll see how guys like AI sort of develop you know Miss on precious AA these guys not coming into their own are

A bit concerning but I’m really interested to see how this NBA draft plays out how the Raptors are able to see guys especially with an offseason now a fully rebuilding how guys like Grady dick Scotty Barnes RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley really come into their own for this team but let me know what

You guys think about the torona Raptor’s ability to develop talent in the future in the comment section down below you guys the best get far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already I’m signing out cheers
