this is my pick for breakout raptor. i think he is going to eat 2nd units alive next season

I'd love for him to breakout so we can trade IQ.

Or, and stay with me here for a second, we can have multiple good players.

That works on keeping Shead's 2nd contract under $20 million.

It's possible we can get better value out of IQ's $32.5M/y. It might make sense to spread that money between re-signing Ochai and a depth piece.

I like how he is using that free-throw line push shot in summer league. Players sagging off to guard the basket are getting punished.

He looks like he'll be better than FVV.

I love Shead man.

Guys gonna breakout this season.

Can easily see him averaging 10+ points and 5+ assists, while giving us ELITE defense.

The things that stand out to me there...

- that little push floater in/around the bottom of the circle is nice
- he's got some crafty passing and some very good vision
- he really looks unimpressive athletically, but has enough of a handle and awareness of how to navigate screens to create space in that environment

Should be an interesting year for him. For the Raps' sake, I hope he's able to give us some decent minutes. Doesn't need to be a star, just needs to keep the offense clicking. The defense is looking intriguing, so that'd be nice as well.

He’s gotta be what IQ isn’t. That will push his minutes. Be an absolute dog on defense. High ball pressure, get in lanes. Really try to be the leader of the 2nd group. On offense has to get everyone organized and move it around. Would really be nice if he could paint touch a lot and kick out. Then try and hit open 3’s.

If he can be a strong POA defender and a competent PnR and transition playmaker, that would be a pretty big deal for our rotation, for sure.

Shead and Martin should be crazy fun.
