Im a huge fan of Faried and I see a lot of Farieds game in Acy. And if Acy has the energy and tenacity of Faried, the Raps would really benefit from that, even if that's for 15minutes a game. Because hustle players are really undervalued in todays game

Montiejunas had a different experience in his second summer league game, 0 for 5 from the field, 1 point, 4 rebounds, -15 in +/- in 22 minutes against the Wizards. Perhaps he is not ready to fill Scola's shoes just yet.
Lamb had 26 points. T. Jones was solid. Royce White has not impressed yet in Vegas.

I am hoping yes but betting no.
I think if Acy were at Morehead, and not Baylor (one of the biggest programs in the country vs. one of the smallest) you would see a difference in his stats.
What many fail to acknowledge is that Acy was the best player on the Bears roster ALL year long.
Obviously Faried is a MONSTER on the glass, and Acy would be hard pressed to approach Faried record numbers, but I think Acy offers a little bit more outside of the Rebounding, than what Faried has to offer.
Acy is much more of a hard-nosed, hard-foul kind of guy. Perfect for Casey.Last edited by Joey; Sun Jul 15, 2012, 01:21 PM.

Chris Wright
Stumbled across this article about our newest addition to our summer league squad and thought it was of interest:

Chris Wright's hard work and defensive tenacity earned him a roster spot with the Warriors last year. Maybe he will make a similar impression with the Raptors in summer league, especially with the Casey's proclivity towards hard nosed defenders.Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Toronto takes on Miami at 6:30 eastern, there could be some nice match-ups here with Norris Cole at PG as an established rookie and with Dexter Pittman and Jarvis Varnado up front. It will be another good test for Ed to see if he is progressing and for one of the PGs to step up and take charge.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY
