If Mogbo ever could develop a 3pt shot....

He may, his shot isn't terrible

Great game. These teams are really evenly matched.

1 point game.

[MEDIC]

Using Mogbo as POA defender. It seems they are trying to develop their next OG, which is a great plan if it works.

Mogbo as a legit POA defender & Scottie as help defender would be extremely tough to.play against.

Mogbo has a long way to go though.

[MEDIC]

905 gets the W. Tough game.

Battle sinks FT's to help secure the W.

One thing that I really like this season is that the Raptors have signed a bunch of guys with years of NBA & GLeague experience. The final piece that kinda tied everything together was Kaminsky..

When the Raptors rookies get sent down, they have a bunch of mentors that know how to play the game & can run the offensive & defensive schemes effectively. The young guys can integrate into the lineup & effectively learn how to be part of a functional team. They can also pick these guys brains, as many of them are further ahead in regards to learning how to be an NBA pro.

It certainly beats sending our top.prospects down to play with a dysfunctional team or play with a bunch of kids that don't know any more about the game than they do.

If Bruno had this iteration of the Raptors 905 to develop in instead of the D-League experience he actually had...who's to say he wouldn't have turned out completely different. The organization did him dirty. I'm happy they are treating Chomche better.

These are pretty impressive, Mogbo is a top tier athlete.

He's being used as a point of attack defender with the 905 which is nice to see and we will see how everything translates over later in the season when minutes open up.

Based on the videos, they are all (different kinds of) dunks. I would rather him trying a layup instead of a dunk. Dunking the basketball is the least of Mogbo's worries

Good point. They mentioned on one of the broadcasts a few games ago that Kaminsky and Chomche in particular have been working together a lot, even though they are very different kinds of bigs.

Earlier in the season I was really hoping that Shead could get a lot of 905 time so that Chomche could learn to work with a good point guard that will put him in the right spots and help feed him when he plays correctly (I'm not convinced that either Lawson or Chandler are very good at that). But the type of big-to-big mentorship that he's receiving from Kaminsky is just as important.

I see no defense

Yeah. I am.quite confident that this was the main reason they brought Kaminsky in. Chomche was kind of on his own trying to figure things out. Wasn't going to work very well.

Also. Chomche needs to learn how to be a high post big who facilitates. That is what Kaminsky is doing & being a very good example.for him.

I love the idea of having 4-5 NBA vets in the g-leauge just to be mentors.

Mostly guys who were offensive players but to slow to be good defenders. At least they could teach them good offensive habits and then defensively be like "be more athletic than I was lol"

It would be good if they could give NBA veterans decent GLeague contracts & make it more attractive to play there. It would prolong their careers, allow them to mentor the young guys & increase the quality of basketball in the GLeague.

There was a pretty big turnout in Laval & they got to see two games where quality teams were battling it out.

The announcers kept talking about how much experience there is on the 905 & how it's not something you typically see on a GLeague team.

He may, his shot isn't terrible

He reminds me of Amir Johnson

[Thaddy]

Once he has a good stationary shot he'll be a better version of Agbaji. I don't expect him to learn how to shoot off the dribble but a good handle and stationary shot would make him a starting caliber role player.

I’m all for it lol get Temple down there and clear up that roster spot

Funny. I was picturing him as I wrote that.

I don't expect him to play anymore as a small ball 5 this season, his development is likely going to be 100% focused towards being a jumbo wing which was the initial plan heading into the year.
