Happy #NBADraft Day!
@Amit_Mann & I will be live tonight from 8-11 pm ET on @fan590, breaking down every pick, trade, & pressing storyline!
We'll dive deeper into the #Raptors once they're on the clock at No. 19. Reaction pod will be available on Raptors Show feed.
"If there's a lesson... it would be that Toronto has to build a deeper, line-over-line team."

"I see a kid that looks like he’s playing as though he was meant to do this."
@JDBunkis breaks down Brandon Valenzuela's impressive rookie season so far with the Blue Jays.
"We are more locked into the moment and less connected to history than ever before… I don’t know if sports are as valuable if we don’t have meaningful rivalries."
@JDBunkis and @SportsnetBen on the lack of intensity in long-standing sports rivalries in 2026.
"It’s going to be very expensive, so it’s not a long list of teams that can swim in those waters… the Blue Jays are clearly one of those teams."
@bnicholsonsmith joins @JDBunkis to discuss the Blue Jays' potential involvement in the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes.
"The Leafs went nine seasons with Marner and every voice in the hockey world said, 'They're really running it back again?'... All of a sudden, all these people are flipping."
@JDBunkis and @Jackie_Redmond discuss the reaction to Mitch Marner's playoff success in Vegas.
"Some guys are just wired differently... When you combine that with this kind of talent, you could really have something really special."
@DannySpxp joins @JDBunkis to discuss the continued rise of Trey Yesavage as a starter for the Blue Jays.
"It sounds like they're going to cast such a wide net and talk to 30 or 40 people... but Carle is the number one candidate."
@mirtle joins @JDBunkis to discuss the Maple Leafs interest in University of Denver Head Coach David Carle.
"I hate to use the term 'team of destiny,' but there's something about this team."
@lukegazdic joins @JDBunkis to break down the Canadiens' chances against Carolina in the Eastern Conference Final.
"If Marner did this in Toronto, there would be a statue waiting for him on Legends Row."
@JDBunkis discusses Mitch Marner’s playoff success in Vegas and how it affects his legacy in Toronto.
"It feels like Gavin McKenna is being punished for going to play college hockey."
@JDBunkis discusses the shifting narrative around Gavin McKenna’s status as the potential first overall draft pick.
“If you’re putting pressure on kids, you’re defeating the purpose of what sport is for... Playing multiple sports helped me fall in love with baseball at the right time."
@Mike_Soroka28 and @JDBunkis discuss the challenges of growing up in today’s youth baseball environment.
“He will start the season in Ottawa, and we’ll see how it goes… It would be a tough loss for this city and team if they lost a guy like Brady."
