Why the Toronto Raptors picking in the sweetspot of the 2024 NBA Draft w/ Maxwell Baumbach of No Ceilings

Locked On Raptors - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Raptors

In Episode 1647, Sean Woodley is joined by NBA prospect writer and scout Maxwell Baumbach of No Ceilings to chat about why the Toronto Raptors are picking in great spots in this year's NBA Draft considering the strengths and weaknesses of the class, some potential fits for the Raptors at 19th-overall, and to run through some of Sean's most firmly held opinions on this year's draft class and determine whether they're good or insane. Off the top, Sean and Maxwell chat about why by holding picks 19 and 31 in this unorthodox draft class, the Raptors are actually in a very enviable position. Plus, they examine the potential value of having the first pick of the second day of the draft at number 31 and why they can more or less "control the board" for the second round. Next, Maxwell details why he thinks Colorado wing Tristan da Silva, skilled Duke big man Kyle Filipowski, and Miami wing Kyshawn George could all be very nice withs the Raptors with the 19th pick. Lastly, Sean throws some of his most firmly held takes about this year's class Maxwell's well for them to either get a thumbs up or a thumbs down, with discussion of Virginia's defensive ace Ryan Dunn, Sean's new favourite dude in the draft DaRon Holmes II, and California guard/forward Jaylon Tyson. Plus, some parting shots about other sleeper prospects in this draft, including French wing Pacome Dadiet.
