I heard Ibaka also got a championship belt for showing the most hustle in the aged 40+ category.

Youngest 40 year old in the league.

I really like TD as a player, very excited to see him in action. His stroke looks legit.

Stanley's looks terrible in that video so i will keep my expectations low, slow and low release. He needs to rebuild that thing if he ever wants to be a starter.

Amazing form from Matt Thomas, but my question comes from the man standing beside him in the video. Matt Thomas is a lights out shooter who is a couple inches shorter and less athletic than Malcolm Miller.

Is Toronto sure Matt Thomas is worth guaranteed money over Miller who is probably a similar shooter, but with better defensive make-up?

What's being over looked is thomas has a deceptively good catch and dribble game as well. If he doesn't shoot he can create a little for himself or others quickly. He won't run an offense or anything like that but he could make something happen besides catch and shoot. Hes just a flat out better offensive player than Miller. Defensively is he could be hidden he'd be great to have on the floor

Does anyone see TD as a 1? He definitely has 'some' playmaking. I wonder if the staff is confident he can play the 2 but wants to see if he can play the 1.

That's got to be a solid comparison.

If he's the Real Beal 2.0 that's a grand-slam of a signing. If he's less than a poor man's beal it's still a good pickup.

Thomas is getting paid like 1.2 a year or something. and he will prove to be a much better shooter than miller. i think all this talk about release point and whether he can play D is going to go out the window when he starts having regular games of 5/6 from 3. he won't start but i predict he will come off the bench and take 4-5 3s every game in 16 minutes. dude shot 47.5% from 3 in Spain over the last 2 years ffs.

I'm as big a raptor homer there is, but are we serious?! What's the big deal about Terrence Davis and why is overhyping him. If he was such a steal wouldnt he been drafted?

Well technically he would have been drafted just not first round guranteed so he bet on himself and decided to drop out because he didn't want a 2way contract.

Also the guys on the ringer had him as high as 27 in their last mock before the draft
