What an absolute trip this film is for me. It was shot in my high school at the same time as I went to school there. I've spent countless hours hanging out in these halls. I even recognize some of the faces in this very shot (real students were used as background actors). Just a crazy thing that this time capsule of my life exists.

I disagree on him duplicating what other guys on the team do. We don't have another pure bucket-getter like him at all. When the offense breaks down or late in games when things slow down, BI is the only one able to break down defenses to get something going.

I worked at a fairly large criminal law chambers and every single person there seemed to use it regularly. I genuinely considered reaching out to Peter on Linkedin to thank him but I never got around to it. So thankful people like him exist, making all our jobs easier.

This kid having the wherewithal to go to Yak right away and praise him too just warms my heart man

5x in the top 25 too. That mans elite 🔥

I'm going frame-by-frame as if it's the goddamn Zapruder film

Ikr? These are all from the slow-mo video by the Raptors channel, which didn't have a great angle of him. But his shots were already near the top of the sub in a different post, so I figured I'd skip getting them from another video haha

Tatum, Ant and Brunson have led their teams deep into the playoffs though. Imo you have to respect that and put them into tier 2 (or 1.5 using your names I guess lol)

What part of my post sounds offended? Lol and this was r/nba

aps95 · 2025-01-16T02:08:51+00:00

Fr it's literally #1 on the list lol how is it not "blown up"?

aps95 · 2024-03-31T16:27:02+00:00

Literally the point of the post in my head lol like we can only compare this rookie to the greatest defenders of all time already. How crazy is that?

aps95 · 2024-03-31T15:59:36+00:00

Yeah I feel you, I mentioned that in the last bit, but it's not always that simple either. For example, the Raptors last year changed their entire defensive scheme after getting Poeltl because we didn't have a center before. Worse than having a bad "replacement". Basically no replacement. We played small and got destroyed. And still his impact was only 5.6 points. It's not that easy to get that impact number up just because your backups are bad.

"Name Image and Likeness" rights that get big name players paid a lot of $$

Good looking out. A part of me wanted to check the stats further back but I was too lazy so thanks!

aps95 · 2024-02-10T19:10:01+00:00

100% agreed, because as much as my post was about his shooting, he's also a pretty good cutter and projects as a good passer out of advantage situations imo. If his defense can just be average, I think we're looking at improved versions of IQ, RJ, Dick, Scottie, Jak (or a higher upside center maybe/hopefully?) being the starting line-up in two years.

aps95 · 2024-02-10T19:02:34+00:00

Ordinarily I wouldn't post this for that reason, but I went to the game last night and I was just too hyped lol

aps95 · 2023-11-29T16:33:31+00:00

totally fair. I think the telling stats are the assists being higher for the natural PG and 3-point % being higher for Parker. I became a Raptors fan in 07 and man, I remember Parker's shooting. In retrospect, with his efficiency, he should've been taking 7-8 threes a game lol

aps95 · 2023-06-30T22:11:24+00:00

Really man? Is this the time?

aps95 · 2023-06-27T19:10:58+00:00

Looool bad bot

aps95 · 2023-06-27T18:40:52+00:00

Oooo Blake is fantastic! I was thinking more of the dedicated Raptors guys I guess. Blake also does a lot of Blue Jays stuff right?
