Said he’d take Dick’s spot about five games into his career. About time we start giving him some run.

We have wasted so much time on Dick who is really a sunk cost.

I think Boyles should cut his hair maybe it’ll help his game like it did for Jakobe.

Jakobe has good timing on his doubles

Also, post-baby Ochai is a keeper. Gradey probably the odd man out for getting under the cap.

Guess we know why CMB was always passing up on shots in the paint lol.

Regardless, hes gotta get the reps to improve.

CMB doesn't have a touch issue, he's just bothered by the size of the NBA at the rim. He's going to adapt, it will get better.

Ja'k will be a sparkplug for years

I never saw the hype with dick. I always thought he had a low ceiling but could at least stick in the league because he could shoot. Turns out he can’t even do that. No shot combined with his overall lack of skill I’m not sure what the raptors see is worth developing. Maybe he’s a good guy and hard worker but that doesn’t win you games

Yeah the scoring instincts are there, touch isn't bad either. Just needs to get more comfortable with NBA athleticism.

Maybe gradey should get some braids and his shot will start dropping

We are shooting at the rim like Wemby is on the other team. Really frustrating game

This what the average fan doesn't notice.

Our starters have not made a 3 yet...lol

I wouldn't look too much into it. Gotta give him 10 of those looks per game..and he may eventually adjust. Rookies that aren't pure jump shooters may off slow. Flagg in pre-season + beginning of the year is a completely different offensive player to what he is now. CMB probably averages less than 1 self-creation attempts per game atm.
