Raptors sign Markquis Nowell

I didn't watch all of his games during the tournament so I checked his stats. In 4 games he averaged 23.5 points, 13.5 assists, and 4.0 steals, with a 3P% of 42% (on 7.8 3PA) and a FT% of 92%.

Some will point out his 47% 2P% and 4.0 TO but those need to be put in context considering he was their leading scorer by 8 points per game.

I'm really pulling for him to do well.

I enjoy watching the 905 in person. All seats are great there.

Flynn is done for me. Dude's 25 and has shown us absolutely nothing.

Next year's PG depth chart should be: (Scottie)/Dowtin/Banton/Nowell

There's quite the match-up we can provide against the point. Small and fast Nowell, Defense and calming attack Dowtin, Tall mismatch wrecking ball Banton. Maybe we don't need another PG but it's too risky.

Trade Flynn and get something for Fred and get a pg vet. Lowry would be perfect.

Koloko

Many years away from being capable at the NBA level

Yeah I’m not that high on Koloko. He grades out defensively but everything else is pretty awful imo

If that's not a rental car, he needs a financial advisor. His NIL deals weren't paying him THAT much lol.

I'm such a big believer.
But all the odds are stacked heavily against him.

He’s being humble, he’s crazy talented that’s how he plays well above his size. Not sure how he is defensively but he’s gotta be better then Damon/IT3 there those two were complete pylons on that end.

I would argue he was capable last year as a rookie.

He just told masai they made the best decision of their lives... he's definitely confident. Let's hope he pans out.

He will get no burn as long as Fred is here...

Bobby Webster: The kids on realgm are ecstatic. You're getting rid of that midget, low percentage point guard, with problems on the defensive end. They know there's no way you can find anyone with those same shortcomings in free agency/the draft.

Masai (rewatching Kansas State in the NCAA tournament): Bobby, hold my beer. *picks up the phone*

I'm excited to see what he can do.

Seems like a great fit for Darko's style.

PG rotation: Schroeder + Dowtin + Flynn + Nowell

Definitely the worst PG rotation in the league but at least 30M didn’t go to a chucker
