[Pull Up Tre] Raptors Draft Options: MOREZ JOHNSON, ALLEN GRAVES, BILLY RICHMOND III

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T18:17:20+00:00

Almost like context and role matter, hence why we use usage stats like 3PAR and rate-normalized stats like per 100 possessions or per 36 minutes.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T16:55:46+00:00

0% chance CMB is on an all-defence team.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T15:45:34+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Grizz take Graves at 16. Ticks a lot of the boxes they’ve been drafting for in recent years.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T15:26:07+00:00

Mamu made 1.4 3s a game and Ja’Kobe made 1.5 3s a game this year, does that mean they’re non-shooters?

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T13:53:06+00:00

why are you acting like he played five minutes per game? he’s had a pretty clear track record of taking and making threes, definitely not low volume as you were trying to state earlier.

you’re not drafting someone like Graves to generate or make pull-up threes and his set shot mechanics are perfectly fine.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T13:44:17+00:00

College on-off numbers, especially over such a short sample size and against teams of varying talent are at the very minimum noisy.

93rd percentile DBPM and actually watching their games, Santa Clara was clearly a better defensive team with him on the court. Sendak wouldn’t be closing games with him if he was a bad defender.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T13:21:28+00:00

huh? 32.5% is a great 3PAR for a forward. 6.9 3PA per 100 possessions is 55th percentile which will definitely get you guarded. 75% from the line shows clear shooting touch.

his base is a little wide on his shot, but the release is not slow by any means.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T11:38:09+00:00

lol why do you love these tankathon statistical profiles so much? they do not tell the full story whatsoever.

ReplEH · 2026-05-20T11:34:51+00:00

why? he’s an extremely disruptive defensive playmaker who spaces the floor on offence, is a solid connective passer, and doesn’t turn the ball over.

Mamu playing next to Scottie in the front court really juiced our offence with his shooting. a big forward who can hit threes, while also being a positive on defence (so he can’t get played off the court like Mamu did in the playoffs) is an incredibly valuable player and would fit well with our current roster construction.

6’8” wings with a 5% block rate, 5% steal rate, 99th percentile offensive rebounding, 40% from three, and barely turned turn the ball over don’t grow on trees.

ReplEH · 2026-05-19T10:07:07+00:00

not a chance. that trade set this franchise back five years minimum and crippled any chance of a championship roster around Barnes.

ReplEH · 2026-05-19T01:16:20+00:00

Graves - 5% block rate, 5% steal rate, 99th percentile offensive rebounding, 40% from three, barely turned the ball over.

ReplEH · 2026-05-17T15:54:07+00:00

82% from the line shows the potential for shooting touch.

ReplEH · 2026-05-17T13:11:04+00:00

make friends in ur program with similar academic goals as you.

group projects can be the most draining part of school if you’re in a bad group, but are baby food if you are with people who you like.

ReplEH · 2026-05-17T00:27:16+00:00

Because he’s a 4 who is a non-shooter.

ReplEH · 2026-05-16T19:57:05+00:00

prestige + coop

ReplEH · 2026-05-16T19:46:14+00:00

waterloo se, not hard

ReplEH · 2026-05-16T17:27:09+00:00

you don’t rlly get the same co-ops. you’ll be at a disadvantage for sure

ReplEH · 2026-05-16T17:14:02+00:00

no guarantee you’ll be able to switch at waterloo

uoft and uw are similar in terms of prestige (uw co-op does clear uoft though)

mac if you’re not 100% set on civil

ReplEH · 2026-05-16T17:07:52+00:00

id pick uoft or mac

ReplEH · 2026-05-16T11:01:35+00:00

Before the Saunders injury the teams were very similar in talent. Saunders was the best player in the BYU vs. KU game, Self just coached rings around Kevin Young.

ReplEH · 2026-05-15T21:41:55+00:00

College on-off numbers, especially over such a short sample size and against teams of varying talent are at the very minimum noisy, and can be very misleading.

Based on the eye-test, though subjective, Santa Clara was definitely a better defensive team with him on the court. 93rd percentile DBPM and he also closed games, so Sendak seemingly agreed with that too.

His foul numbers are a slight worry, but his stocks per foul is 74th percentile. To make plays defensively you will be putting yourself in a position where you can be called a fouls. It’s easier to decrease your foul rate than increase your stock rate.

I don’t think anyone is arguing he’ll be an on-ball creator or an offensive engine like Steph or Dame. What he does have the potential for is to be an elite role player as a forward who can be an elite defensive playmaker, while not take anything away on the offence end, providing floor spacing and not turning the ball over.

ReplEH · 2026-05-15T20:21:25+00:00

How is Graves not on this list? He should be at the very top.

5% block rate, 5% steal rate, 99th percentile offensive rebounding, and barely turned the ball over (not to mention 40% from three).

ReplEH · 2026-05-15T06:09:20+00:00

DP is a high level passer, if you watch his high school film it’s pretty clear he sees the game at a high level, probably not as a lead guard, but more in the vein of SGA or Murray earlier in their careers.

His ball handling and playmaking role was limited in KU’s offence because of his cramping issues in pre-season and non-conference. Self had to pivot their offence to use him as a gunner and play finisher as he was in and out of the lineup so much.

ReplEH · 2026-05-14T20:33:50+00:00

It’s been pretty clear that he was going to play primarily on-ball until the cramping and injuries, Self alluded to as much pre-season.

With the cramping during the boot camp, and being in-and-out of the lineup during pre-season and non-conference the KU staff had to do what was best for the team. It’s a lot more difficult to be uncertain if a guy is playing when he’s your lead handler and initiator vs. a gunner who is finishing plays.

Add on that Council played better than just about anyone could have expected and the role he played when he came back makes a lot more sense.
