So who's going to make the Masai-Nigerian connection joke first?
Seriously speaking, this kid was killing it offensively whenever I checked the box score in the G League.

Kid?
He's a 27 year old man that's the same age as Brown.
The size he has looks good with his scoring ability. He's a bad shooter though. We need a back up guard, 3+D, and big men prospects.

Rewarding 905 players. Eugene has been a pretty good player so far.
On a side note, he looks like Draymond Green.

We need to bring back Anthony Bennett and give him 1 last chance to prove why the Cavs selected him #1

Yup. He deserves it.
Plus, you bring Eugene up for 10 games, he gets some.cash & it allows the 905 to play Mogbo a ton of minutes without Eugene there. .

Eugene Omoruyi – Raptors 905, SF, 6’6’’, 27 years old
Omoruyi has played himself into a callup before. He’s right on the fringe of being on an NBA roster. This season, he’s refocused a bit as more of a finisher and defender. That focus has Omoruyi hitting 59.2% from the floor, while grabbing 7.9 rebounds. He’s the kind of athlete that teams like, because Omoruyi can be pretty plug-and-play in a pinch.

Yup.
Brought up a 6'6 27 year old on a 10 day to replace a starting C.

He is turning 28 very soon. He is actually pretty good but this is likely just making it rain for some 905 guys until the trade deadline. I liked Dylan Disu in the tip off tournament of the season but he hasn’t played the last half dozen games for the 905. Is he injured?
