The Raptors may suck now, but their fanbase is still just as happy as ever to endlessly bleat about how their team’s development program is SO GOOD and how many UNDISCOVERED GEMS they discovered by picking through the vast dirt pile that makes up the available pool of free agents, G-Leaguers, and potential draftees (a vast dirt pile that happens to include the noted free agent point guard named Mr. Dee Tee Bee, I’m sitting here waiting for the call, come on GMs, you know you can’t pass up my wet middy jimbos). You’d think that a down season would cause them to shut up, maybe chill out and lay low for a bit until their fortunes reverse, but no. To them, the championship was fun and satisfying, but what’s even more fun and satisfying is taking dudes from the G-League and turning them into role-players.
I don’t even disagree that much. Championships are overrated, and I’m NOT SALTY AT ALL. Why would you even think that I’m salty? Because I’m not. I don’t even want a stupid championship. I’d rather Sam Merrill turned into a Malcolm Brogdon 0.6.
Paul Watson emerging into yet another Raptors development program success story will ease some of the hurt from that whole Terence Davis situation. Just for laughs I’m going to go and re-read all those wildly optimistic comments from Raptors fans on all those vids I made for him. Remember: all those times I was calling Davis the next Kawhi, that was me pandering to Canadians in the hopes that they would take some of the money from their socialist commie utopia and donate it to my Patreon.
With that said, Watson is for sure the next Kawhi, but better. You are welcome to debate this statement with me, although it won’t be much of a debate, because any point you could possibly come up with as to why Watson is maybe not the next Kawhi would be so blatantly wrong that I wouldn’t even acknowledge it with a response. Comments like “gee whiz DTB, I’m not sure Paul Watson is the next Kawhi because he doesn’t have the ability to take over games with his scoring” or “Leonard is a way better defender than Watson” or “I am a mouthbreathing simpleton and the advanced stats prefer Kawhi over Watson by a significant margin” and “Hurrdurr hurrrrr” will not be responded to, but will be left available for others to view and mock.
I mean, how many times has Kawhi hit 8 threes in a game? None times. The defense rests, your honor.
