Should The Toronto Raptors Kon-sider Knueppel?



Should The Toronto Raptors Kon-sider Knueppel?

Taking a look at Duke Freshman Kon Knueppel as a prospect, as well as an in-depth examination of the Raptors’ 118-117 loss to the Washington Wizards.

  1. Nah, I thought this was deep draft? Just Duke guys getting the camera? Just sounds like a poor man Gradey in a "deep" draft. Not even saying you wrong, I just hoping for more than this dude I guess

  2. From cooper flag to kon knupuel talks. Thank you Masai for ruining this franchise

  3. On one hand im glad we lost lol for the tank/higher pick but damn that was a heartbreaker. And im not sure about Kon unless like u said its around 10th 11th pick then maybe its an option

  4. Kon K, would look good in a Raptors uniform.
    This talk of star no. This league is full of stars that doesn't win. In the 80 90 it was all about winning, now it's only the bag no accountability.
    If we could trade Gradey for top 10 pick, we have way too many guards.
    I expect a Bigman to be chosen because there are some Bigs in this draft that has the same amount as talent and more size than Kon K.
    But If I could have my cake and eat it too, I would draft Kon

  5. I would like to see us pick an elite wing defender that we can develope his offensive game, or a center

  6. I’m really starting to think VJ edge one is almost the perfect player for the raptors.
    Picture a team where it’s VJ instead of RJ at the SG.
    We would also get a first round pick and whatever for RJ as well.
    But if raps can get into the top 4 with lottery luck I think VJ is the guy. He fits perfectly around Iq Scottie Ingram and Yak. VJ’s shot is better than people assumed it would be. Let’s see if he can keep it up.
    Then off the bench you have gradey sixth man with whatever we get back for RJ to. We have a ton of young prospects already. We just need to add one more top end player and we are good to go.
    Personally I would pick kon 10-14.
    But I don’t see Masai doing it at All.
    If VJ is gone when the raps pick for sure the pick is khaman maluach. I just hope at least one is there when we are on the clock.
    I also like asa if we drop to around 8-9 and khaman is gone

  7. Honestly even devin booker is unrealistic the main reason he developed that way was being surrounded by nobodies in phoenix with a green light

    If the top 3, vj, kasparas, khaman, tre johnson, and derik queen are taken.. sure why not draft him.

    But i’d explore trading up or out at that point

  8. Pretty new to basketball here, so I hope you don’t mind a stupid question. Where would Flagg fit into the raptors roster? From what I gather Flagg is a Forward, and considering the hype I’m just assuming he plays 30+ minutes. With Ingram and Scottie as our established Forwards next season where would Flagg fit? (Probably less than 10% chance this comment even matters come draft haha)

  9. If Raps are picking 8-10 I think I'd prefer Essengue if available. Kon has a higher floor but Noa has a higher ceiling imo.

  10. I believe Drake Powell will rise to lottery after combine and work out. He is smart, very athletic defender and team player. I see him as less athletic version of Ausar but can shoot.

  11. If Raptors pick at #7 Raptors are 2nd last in 3 points made and 3rd last in free throws 5th last in turnovers and 4th biggest weakness 3 point % #KonKnueppel# check those boxes better then any current top 10 pick 2.8-6.8 3pt %39.9, 5.5-11.7 Fg%47, 1.5 turn overs per game, he doesn't demand shots like Tre johnson 7.3-16.6Fg% #RasheerFleming# #KonKnueppel# #NoaEssengue# are my top 7 picks not sure in that order yet, I need bigger sample size, I would love to see a poll raptor fans draft pick they like most since you covered my top draft guys.
