I like what I see in this kid good personality
Looking forward to next season. Hopefully Gradey, Scottie and Pascal all help each other to continually improve.
This dude is awesome
Scottie x Grady ❤
We have another Larry Bird. This kid will shine. Watch out 😅
Wait u until the season starts. Media going to rip on this kid if he doesn’t play well….
Look forward to see him play in summer league. And perhaps may even see Darko coaching too.
Thanks for the content, but… Will Yahoo ever get the audio right?
Some of these questions are dumb af
I live in Colorado but went to KSU and KU. You all are in for a treat with Markquis and Grady. Gonna be a lot of 3 pointers in the Raptors future..
Thank you for having a mic near the question askers
Why can't we hear the questions? microphone ?
I wonder if he knows who the Raps famous #1 is?
Big D In the house. 😅 Sounds like an intelligent young men.
Seems to be actually excited about the game. Exactly what the Raptors need…
But can we change our jerseys for this season? Getting tired of the chevron lol
Noise = #1 Dick, I'll be buying your Jersey!
I just love hearing the answers to questions that you can barely or not hear at all… Come on Media.
Welcome to the Raptor s, work your ass off hit some shots and we will love you.
It's a simple meet and greet presser and Samson Folk is asking Dick what kind of reads he intends to make in specific DHO situations.
Lol, settle down Stallion Folk, save that ish for summer league at least
Gotta love not hearing a single question quality stuff
I'm very confident that Grady and Marquise are going to be major contributors, Grady pretty much immediately…maybe a little slower for Mk
Welcome to Toronto
Give your reporters a damn mic…
When Fred leaves Michael Grange will be on suicide watch
Fix your god dang mics
The city is a dump
Plot twist: Dick was drafted to make the gay community happy before Pride Day 😂
I think he is JJ Reddick with better Defense. Not a great 1 on 1 defender but everything I read suggests he is a better team defender. I don't think anyone can say that about Reddick.
Lmfao, how did every front office not fall in love with this kid when interviewing.
is this guy season ready?
I appreciate whoeevr made the stamps, helps put things into context
Bro got rizz
This kid will be all rookie next year calling it
Fix the micsssssss!!!!!!!
Hopefully Barnes will be taught to be great and work hard the way our new star does
THANKS YAHOO FOR HAVING BETTER AUDIO QUALITY THAN THE RAPTORS
who cares what the questions are …no one at yahoo sports that is for sure
Raptors got another Rookie of the Year!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Excited for the season and a step forward. I like the pick.
Stud.
Dick has a very deep voice 😮
When in raotor history has there been a press conference for a high pick?????whats going on here?
Billion dollar organization and we can’t hear the questions 🤣
We got a good one this time
He seems to have strong mindset so he might be rookie of the year if he keeps shooting. I think he is like JJ redick
Love he’s enjoying himself, and adjusting to the city!🙌❤️
Raptors doing what the raptors do. Drafting avg players smh hyping them. Nice 12 seed next year
CAN WE PLEASE FIX THE DAMN MEDIA AUDIO SO WE CAN HEAR!!! Pathetic how were the only team that has this issue
Toronto loves Dick. This guy will fit right in.
