I believe there is an NBA rule that allows only 1 undrafted PG on a roster

GRADE: A

Raptors have a terrific track-record developing of developing college vets - look no further than Lowry who spent 2 seasons in Nova & Fred a Shocker savant for all 4.

Welcome Markquis!

I got a real good feeling about this one...

Bruh, I just looked it up on Bartovik and this guy shot 48% at the rim against bumass college athletes who will be accountants and plumbers. Imagine what NBA athletes will do to this little person?!? Lord help me.

He was phenomenal in the tournament


Fred is a giant compared to nowell

Nowell is a baller who just has extreme physical limitations that will require him to overachieve like crazy to become like a poor man's fvv.

They’re both midgets

I like Nowell’s game a lot more though. He’s a real PG


True he is more of a true PG rather than an undersized SG like Fred but the statistical profile ultimately could look similar.

If he wasn’t so small, he’d easily be a top 20 pick based on talent. Gonna have to overcome a lot though because of his height

I’m a believer

2nd best assist rate in the country last year and can shoot as well. Was completely dominant at times in the tournament. Worth a shot.
