This is a MAJOR Development for the Raptors…

1. With a nickname like IQ, you put great expectations on yourself … i am sooo done with the ill advised shot taking, ur not steph curry bruv, pass the ball, run the offence and hunt for ur shots. I would trade him in a heartbeat for Cj mcalum, Wizards would take his contract along some young talent

2. Quickly a shooter that sucks at shooting like how 😂

3. if IQ gets injured the fanbase will sing a different tune ..just like everyone did with RJ…no saying IQ cant be better (because i do expect more from him overall) …and not saying we can't get an upgrade …but this fanbase is full of overreactors acting like he's the blame for every bad thing that happens on a nightly basis

4. The Raptors should trade for Myles Turner who can play Serge Ibaka’s role on the 2019 championship team.
   And we need a Kyle Lowry-type PG like Jrue Holiday for his perimeter defence, high basketball IQ, winning mentality.
   The Raptors would not have to sell the farm for these 2 players who have NBA championship experience.

   PG Holiday
   SG Barrett
   SF Ingram
   PF Barnes
   C Turner

   Does this look like a NBA championship team?

5. S, love his play style

6. we need to give shead the starting pg role for a few games

7. I don't get why mo bamba isn't getting any minutes. Like what was the point of signing him

9. PG hot hand finishes. IQ had some missed D and then a leave the floor with nowhere to go turnover in 4th. Also if you are missing short floaters in the lane like 4 in a row all front rim it hurts vs a transition team.

10. Let's be real, if Darko had his way, IQ wouldn't be in the starting line up or getting 20 minutes a game, his a bench player, the only reason his starting bc that idiot Bobby Boucher gave him 32 million and Darko got 2 play him, which is crazy. Let's hope their is a stupid team out there that will take off Raptors hands. Right now, Raptors aren't winning nothing with him or RJ.

11. S, FOR THE DEFENSE

13. Shead has shown better playmaking than IQ on a per-minute basis, but when it comes to scoring, it’s not even close yet. Maybe we could combine the two … ohh wait, we don’t need to, because we have Alijah Martin. If Darko is that blind and can’t recognize him as a future NBA star, then Bobby should look for a new coach as well.

    Both IQ and Shead seem like good guys, but personally, I prefer Alijah Martin.

14. IQ is better off ball. He is ideally suited to be what he was with the Knicks – shooter / scorer / pace off the bench. He doesn’t have the court vision and decision-making ability of a point guard IMO.

17. Ben you're making the wrong analysis. Darko subbed in IQ near the end of the 3rd and played him for nearly a full 8 mins before subbing him out. Darko had to switch IQ out based upon he played IQ until he was tired and you don't play a guy for a full 12 minutes. IQ was tired and it was on Shaed to close it out. There is no controversy here.

18. watching the game and not just the box score you can see IQ consistently misses reads over dribbles and ruins transition opportunities by passing early like every game man among many other atrocities this dude commits with the ball in his hands IQ is not a point guard in the NBA simple as that

19. It should be obvious if somebody is playing better they finish the game do we wanna win or protect the feelings of dudes making 32.5 mil

20. They need to win a playoff round to up Quickley’s stock. Right now his contract has infamously undermined other teams ability to negotiate. He’s not tradable atm.

22. For all the things he does at a high level Shead is still shooting 36% from the floor this year and it's limiting how much the team can play him. That's the reality check. A 6 foot guard who's that inefficient with his own scoring can't be the starter no matter how much of a dog and a floor general he is. I'm excited for his potential but the conversation is premature.

23. At this point JS is the better option
