Not sure we need another guard but okay this kid is really athletic and pops on film. Worth looking into but so is Javon Freeman Liberty.

The speed and passing at least tell me that Toronto wants to inject some more pace.

League better watch out, here's us making our play for the chip.

I wonder how quickly he loses his ability to shoot a 3 after joining the team :lol:

Heard he's prime Westbrook with a wet jump shot.

Would be nice to see some of these guys actually get some run.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

A kid I really liked coming out of HS, but it just never clicked. Perhaps Masai and company have found a gem. Seems like there are 6-10 players annually now who grind in the G-League and eventually will themselves to a career.

57/43/78 splits and has improved every year instead of coasting, seems like he wants to play pro ball so worth giving him a shot.

I'm going to get way too excited for nothing... But look at how he went from a 10ppg scorer, to 16ppg and now to 20ppg in his 3 G-league seasons, all well increasing minutes and increasing efficiency. That proves work ethic is there.

Although he is an undersized guard, it looks like he makes up for it with athleticism.

I might actually watch the next 10 days of Raptor games to see how he does lol

Definitely need another POINT guard. Brown is currently the backup PG :lol: Not sure if this guy is the answer, but doesnt hurt to give him minutes at PG over Brown.

Anyone know what he's like as an onball defender?

He moves his feet well on offense so there is hope there.

Forget his offensive highlights I need to see some D.

Our players, especially the guards, not being able to slow anyone with the ball moving downhill is absolutely destroying us.

Let's see. Looks good on the highlight reels but so does every other player.

Could be exciting and it's a lost season anyway - might as well give him a shot.
