So he's been out injured, now coming back to 905, is that it?


Maybe Isaiah Thomas who played for the Suns recently:


Similar stature and had a great career despite his height issues. I think Nowell is an even better special floor general.

I know people like to hate on the kid, but I think eventually Nowell should get some run in the NBA. Nowell had great defensive and offensive analytics in college, and in the G-League Showcase Cup where he played 9 games he had 15 PPG 10 AST and 2 STL per game. If not for the injury, he was on-track to get NBA attention.

The fact that the Raptors want to retain him in their farm system, shows he is valued.


Yeah it must have been IT, thanks. Makes sense
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Still hoping for the guy!

Does it matter, we don't need to mask anything. We may not win another game for the rest of the season with or without him lol.

I hope we see him during this few weeks with the raps. That's what these weeks are for ie Sept MLB call ups.

I like how we are getting to see how big of a scrub guys like this are with the playing time available. It means we can just cut them all at the end of the season without realgm continuing to fantasize about these terrible players who apparently "just don't get a shot".

And then Masai can bring in a new set of scrubs to summer league and the cycle of raising Realgm hopes can start over again

If NinjaBro wrote this post then we might be looking at mvp level performance from Nowell for the rest of the season.

And then after we cut them for doing nothing, they will go onto have like 5 good games on a bottom 5 team, and we'll see a string of threads and posts about how they were the one that got away.

Lol yeah that definitely happens. But there were some misses for sure. Hassan Whiteside, Gary Payton II, to name a few.
