  • Since the Raptors Summer League roster is already posted, does this mean that it's too late to have Buycks join our Summer League team? I'd like to see Buycks, Ross, Valanciunas, and Acy on the floor together and it would be nice to have him form some chemistry with our players

      I think I read that Buycks is already on Miami's Vegas summer league team, which is too bad.

        that's kinda neat though, we'll get to see Stone and Buycks go head to head

          Is the comment about being an efficient scorer based on what he did in the summer league only or icluding what he did in Europe? Just curious because I could only find his stats from summer league where he did score efficiently and kept his turn overs down, but it's still just summer league. Also, I saw somewhere that he averaged 2.5 assists a game. That's not too good, for a PG, but I guess as long as he's coming off the bench it doesn't hurt the team too much. If Lowry gets injured for any duration of time though things could get ugly.
          In Europe as well. He shot 46% FG last year in France, 38.4% 3PT, scoring over 18 points a game. He also averaged 5 FT per game.

            I wonder if getting signed means he's not going to play now.? He didn't play today for the Thunder. Maybe teams go "Meh, he's signed somewhere else. What's the point of us playing him?"

            Plus I heard he's going to Toronto this weekend for physicals and such. And Vegas league is starting today.

              I guess that could well be the case. I wondered about that too.

              • He reminds me of Brandon Jennings -- based on the videos I've seen on youtube -- with the way he moves around the court & how he gathers his shot. What I like about this signing is the fact that this dude is already 24 with significant experience in college, D-League & overseas. He should be able to contribute now since he is already somewhat seasoned -- with room to grow. He has the ball skills to create his own shot & get to his spot, he has the size being 6'3".

                We now have different options at the point guard spot ...

                Starting calibre guard / Good rebounder -- Lowry
                Score first / Get to the rim / Good size -- Buycks
                Defensive oriented / Great size -- Stone

                We are getting younger by the day!

                  I like it, it's Ujiri's style.

                      @BrettNBA: Source: Raptors interested in signing free agent Nate Robinson, would use him as backup point guard behind Kyle Lowry.

                        • Who would have imagined the Raptors coming out on top of the Dwight free agent sweepstakes?

                            Lowry going bye bye?

                              Why do you say that? I mean, what makes you think there might be a connection to a possible signing of Nate...?

                                I had brought up Nate in the free agency thread. I think he is a good pick up in the short term if itbgoes through.
