This is WAY BETTER Than we Thought…

This is WAY BETTER Than we Thought…

this is way better than we thought as the Toronto Raptors selected Colin Murray Boils with the number nine overall selection despite common Malawatch still being on the board as once again Messiah Jury shocked everyone with his draft selection but this pick is way better than people initially thought when it went down because I was live out there on this video people were concerned people were surprised and especially coupled with his initial reaction to getting selected by the Toronto Raptors that initially came off as “Oh he doesn’t want to be here.” There were a lot of fans that were concerned about “Oh no did we make a mistake for this pick despite tanking for another full season did we make a mistake with one of the more crucial picks in Toronto Raptors history?” That doesn’t seem to be the case as watching this man’s highlights hearing this man speak about joining the Toronto Raptors there is a lot to get very very excited about and there are some things in his game which frankly I’m not going to of course declare him a steel by any stretch of the imagination here now at this point but there are signs of this being a really just another masterclass by Messiah Jerry not going to label it that just yet till we see him in summerly till we see him out there in the Toronto Raptors uniform and all that stuff but there are things to get excited about for Colin Murray Bole so we’re going to dive into all of that in this video but folks I want to thank each and every single one of you today because this afternoon this morning we were lower but you know we’re at this mark we hit the 38,000 subscriber mark here now at this point so you know made a big jump today i appreciate everyone that’s been tuning into the channel for all of these years and you know we’re hitting milestones on big nights of the Toronto Raptors so appreciate everyone getting us to this 38,000 subscriber mark of course the next big metric is that big 40,000 so if you haven’t tuned hit the subscribe button just yet and you want to stay up to date with everything with this team make sure you guys hit that sub button but let’s dive into the news because of course the Raptors ended up drafting Colin Murray Boils who is a guy that again we’ll take a look we’ll dive through everything in terms of how Raptor fans are feeling and why this is a lot better than people were expecting because Murray Boils is a guy that plays the power forward and center position at just 67 you know 6’8 he’s listed different things wherever you look so you know take it uh you know 67 between 67 and 6’8 so he has a 7 foot wingspan and he’s 20 years old so not old for a draft prospect by any means but a little bit older than some of these guys that are out there in the league you know from the United States and was projected to go a little bit after where the Raptors were selecting and you take a look at his stats and this is where a lot of the concerns were picked up with this initial selection is specifically his jump shooting because you have a 67 player the player’s the forward spot you want him to be a knockdown shooter it’s a modern NBA you need to be able to shoot to stay out there on the court and he shoots just 27% from the three-point line and had a viral video going around with him just selling threes over and over again in one of those draft combines so that wrote a lot of people off as a fit for the Toronto Raptors just given his poor shooting and given it being the modern NBA and I’m not blaming people on the surface level i’m one of those people at the surface level that just didn’t expect him to be the Raptor selection number nine especially if a guy like Common Malawatch was still available who of course is the the 7 foot center that we’ve been uh you know discussing for months on end but what has made people kind of change on this because another thing coupled with this is on his initial draft reaction he let out a he let out a little cuss he let out a little frustration his girlfriend was like “Oh my god are you okay?” or something you know it was watching the video in context in the wrong setting you know it looked like “Hey he doesn’t want to be in Toronto.” But that doesn’t given his interviews given his comments and honestly just given the context when he when he broke it down that couldn’t be further from the truth let’s dive into those comments basically at first cuz as Josh Loomer put it uh the cameras caught Colin Mary Bole dropping an F-bomb when he was drafted he clarifies it was just disbelief toronto is the first team that I worked out for what I said is not a bad thing i’m just very thankful that was a surreal moment this organization has a good history so you know and he made more comments on the Toronto Raptor thing i’m super excited i know how passionate the fans are how diverse the city is to see that and be around that environment on a daily basis is something I’m going to make a better it’s going to make me a better player the that environment is amazing the city is great so CMBB is a guy that’s you know very much as someone that seems excited to be joining the Toronto Raptors comments about you know being on this team being on this squad doesn’t isn’t indicative of some guy that was frustrated and genuinely I wouldn’t be shocked if he had no idea he was getting drafted the Toronto Raptors because frankly no one had an idea it was all Noah SN and it was all common mal watch that’s what everyone was expecting the Toronto Raptors to do here now at this point with the number nine overall pick so CMBB is probably just coming out there like whoa this whoa you know dropping the left bomb i’m going to Toronto that’s crazy you know what I mean so you know that’s the context in terms of the video that’s going around so I get why people are frustrated initially and why that might rub the wrong people the wrong way initially but given this it’s uh you know a sign like I I’m not taking that any bit seriously given how he came off in the interviews and seemed very genuine out there on that front so that’s the first thing so that’s better than we thought in terms of that initial reaction but who is he as an actual basketball player because of course that’s the most important thing going on right now when you have the number nine overall pick so essentially he said in addition to his defensive mindset he takes pride in his high IQ and adaptability obviously everybody talks about the shot and that’s something I’ve been fine-tuning i’m just trying to get to the point where I it’s consistent i’m confident with it right now so he’s been improving his jump shot he came out and said that uh you know he started his draft process two week earlier than most and working on his shooting mechanics it’s been a challenge not in a bad way but that’s the main thing every day getting shots up trying to focus on my form i feel that type of comfort and uh that’s what I’ve been wanting so he has been very adamant about improving his jump shot because that’s the biggest concern with him right now you know shooting 26% from the three-point line that is genuinely concerning that’s something that needs to be improved if he’s going to be getting consistent run out there in the NBA so you know he wants to be on the court especially a darker Rayakovich system spacing around playing alongside a guy like Scotty Barnes RJ Barrett and whoever the heck is on this team you know Yaka Purle of course is going to be the center spot there’s not a ton of shooting on this Raptor squad so you need guys that going to be able to come in and have that three-point shot on online so you know Scotty Barnes can slash so RJ Bear can slash so I can slash or whoever the heck is on this team branding has space to operate so that’s nice to hear that he’s working on that jump shot it’s something that is coming together a little bit and he said “I’ve been a role player i’ve been a guy that comes off the bench i’ve been uh I’ve been the guy so I’ve done it all whatever the coach needs me to do just find my role early and help the team win.” So I love that attitude you know because the Raptors do have a lot of guys at his position and that was my initial you know in terms of the shock in terms of everything that was going on with uh you know him as a basketball player and all of that type of stuff right the one concern right it’s like what are we doing if we have this pick if we have this selection and we take a guy you know in CMBB that is a player that plays the same position as you know what we’ve had going for this Raptor squad for the last little while of course you know we have Scotty Burns we have Brandon Ingram that played the same position oaji is a very similar basketball player you have Jonathan Bobo who’s been developing who’s been coming to his own and everything like that so does the fit make a ton of sense right now that shouldn’t matter for the Toronto Raptors we were the 12 seed whatever the heck we were last season we weren’t good last year now we expected to be good for this upcoming season all that but we haven’t proven that just yet so with your last ideally ideally last lottery pick for a very long time as we make trades and stuff but being bad enough to have your own pick in the lottery you take the best player available and then you figure it out for the future we’ve seen all the rumors with all the news with all the buzz this team is uh flexible they’re flexible in terms of what they can get going for this team so getting a CMBB in terms of being a piece coming in if we think he’s the best guy has the most upside which defensively if you watch this man’s highlights if you Google you know just see Colin Murray Bole’s defensive highlights highlights out there he is an absolute monster on the defensive end and he has a really good feel on the offensive end too in terms of his ability to pass facilitate at that mid spot i mean Draymond Green is a big comparison he’s getting thrown out too of course we have Mo but you know that’s three guys Scotty Barnes Jonathan Mo and CNB now at this point that are very high IQ basketball players and you can’t have enough of those guys on your roster so this selection is a lot better than we thought i’m not declaring a steal just yet because of the number nine overall selection you got to be able to hit stuff there but I I’m seeing some flash especially if the jump shot comes together then this is a whole different story for this guy as a basketball player he’s a complete player you know if that three-point shot comes into its own but overall good selection by Messiah Jerry will pan out we’ll find out over the next few years I’d imagine but anyways you guys best make this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already anyways I’m signing out cheers thanks for 38K love you all
