I'd still rather take 4 failed Nowell tenures over 4 failed FVV seasons

How does a Nowell thread turn into FVV :lol:

Nowell never seemed like a good pick up to me. Just way to small.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

too small plus problems staying healthy. he was a long shot to make it but hopefully he finds a career in the sport he loves maybe overseas.

A superstar in his own mind. He talked bigger than his stature. For a guy his size in the NBA to truly succeed, he had to be a super shooter with a lightning fast release, but he was just a good shooter with an average release as far as I could see, and he had a propensity to get injured.

Injuries didn’t help, that’s for sure.

He wasn't even the best sub 6' Raptors player of all time. Hope he finds work overseas, but I never saw him as a legit NBA player.

I'm enjoying this year's version of the Raptors more than watching high USG FVV. That's just me though. Watching Fred try to carry this team was like being forcibly submerged underwater and knowing I'm going to drown.
