Everything Yuta Watanabe

Great motor and open court speed at his height. Would like to see some footraces against Pascal.

Cap space aside, can we offer him anything aside from a min or does it have to involve the RMLE?

We have his non-Bird rights and can offer a contract up to 120% of his minimum salary. Otherwise we need an exception or cap space.

This guy has showed out pretty well for himself. He doesn't have the experience but going into 2021-22, is he not a better 2-way player than, say, Gallinari?

GW would put Yuta at the top of their 1-3-1 zone because of his superior lateral quickness and length

...and there's a heck of a first post. Welcome to the Republic.

Offer this man a 3 year nba deal.

They can't. Used their remaining MLE on Len of all things.

They can offer a 2 year. But might be best off waiting out the 2-way and dealing with his restricted FA in the summer. We'll see though. Heck, if he keeps himself in the rotation they might have no choice but to sign him this season as he starts to run out of games (can only do 50, and can't play in playoffs).

Looking like a solid rotation player. Nurse is going to have this bench flying before long here.

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

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.

Yuta's got some heart.

Too great not to post
