Everything Yuta Watanabe

Yuta deserves his own thread after showing some serious competence and a 2-way skill package in this early season. Here he is flashing the full arsenal in the G-league last year.

The RR bar is so ridiculously low lol

Raptors Republic - where "competence" is seen as hyperbole.

During training camp, it was either Yuta or Oshae.

Obviously I wanted Oshae because of his recent, though very limited track record.

Yuta was alright in my eyes, but the ones who actually run this team saw way more in Yuta and stuck with him, and sent Oshae to the G-League for more reps.

This team finds ways to get hidden gems underneath our noses, something that never happened under Colangelo at all.

He just looks like he knows how to play. And he's a legit 6'8.

[Puffer]

He hasn't had a lot of minutes but he doesn't make egregious errors and seems to always make the right plays. A lot of hustle and only takes his own shot in the flow of the game and when there isn't a better one to hand. Quite pleased with him.

[SkywalkerAC]

Same age as Pascal apparently (26), explains why he doesn't look so green.

[DanH]

He should sure be playing ahead of Stan.

So is Yuta getting converted or what?

Too great not to post

Yuta's got some heart.

Great kid. Disciplined, fundamentally sound, smoothly have found the right spots to be within the raptors offence and defence. Good shooting form and handles for a big too. Should get a regular roster spot.

He should have played his college ball not at George Washington..but in Utah.
He could have been the legendary Yuta Ute.
