Shot it well from 3 last season in the G League, chucking up bricks this year. Fits right in.

This is actually a big time signing.

Hope a Bobby Webster extension is next.
In Masai We Trust :meditate:

On a separate note: when was the last time the Raptors signed an international player/prospect? Has the talent pool dried up or is that not a scouting priority any more?

All kidding aside, he's an athletic 5 with at least some ability to stretch the floor.

Waiting for ItsDanger to tell me who we should have signed instead (12 months from now)
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

This was an easy choice. Good size, 40% shooting and good rebounder with NBA pedigree. He is also outside the Raptors 905 system so he will be actually good.

Majority of international players aren't going leave Europe to play in the g-league. And most players that get brought over onto a roster have their rights owned by the team that does it.

G-league stats are somewhat intriguing.

16/10 and 3 blocked shots on 33 minutes of play. Also takes nearly 7 threes a game so he's a perimeter gunner, albeit not efficient.
