Are his handles really that bad? My initial impression is that he lacks any sort of east-west game, but I'm not sure I've seen enough.


I thought he would be more explosive with the ball but he doesn’t seem to have the ability to make anything happen with it. Again if you’re undersized with no pg skills you should at least be able to get to the rim or something but he looks to be easily stifled

He seems more like a vertical athlete than a guy who’s quick on the floor.

Refs have allowed this game to be insanely slow, free throw driven, and boring.

Walter made some shots. Lawson still our most consistent offensive player. Shead looking ass tonight. Again this is the problem with this defense first ****. Everyone’s talking about how awesome our defense is and we’re still losing. If we’re not forcing turnovers we have no offense.

Wait until the whole team gets sick of hitting him top of the key just for him to swing it to a more covered player and go screen. This ain't the 1980's Bobby smh

this game is a good reminder of how an unsustainable defence through pure energy can flame out easily and how it can problematic when your offence and shooting is not up to par


Denver is matching the defensive intensity that the Raptors have been bringing...plus refs are letting them be very aggressive

He hasn't practiced with the team at all. You know this, right?


So he doesn't know how to look at the rim and make a move? It's summer league man, when he catches the ball he doesnt need to just hand if off the guy beside him.

he's the 45th pick and projects to be able to give you 10-15 minutes. Can't complain.

Not sure how you got that from my post. My implication is that Walter looks effective tonight because he’s making 3s at a high level. If those are all bricks he’s looked pretty limited otherwise offensively. You look at Lawson for example and he has the explosiveness to get to the rim. Jakobe looks rough trying to create his own offense.

Shead should not be leading the team in shots
