Everything Juancho Hermangomez

[The Claw Reborn]

Welcome Bo Cruz !

[G__Deane]

Well, we're certainly going to have .... options?

[WJF]

I like the signing. When he got a bit of consistent run with Utah last season he shot the ball very well.

[Jclaw]

6’9”. He fits.

[Dr Hannibal Lecter]

Sure..he can be Barnes Waterboy..

I suspect this is another minimum deal with limited guarantee. The one year term is odd if that's the case though. Seems like a bet on himself sort of deal. I thought he'd have more of a market, maybe this is BAE or some MLE money. Not a huge difference either way, but interesting to watch out for.

Things have become a lot tougher for DJ Wilson.

Shot 44% from three on between 2-3 attempts per game with Utah after not taking any 3’s with the Spurs. Could have a Precious thing going on here. Of note, he was once in the mid 40’s before on 3’s when he took his highest numbers of 3’s

Just one?

So the Raptors went and got another 6'8-6'9 dude? Surprise, surprise. After summer league, and my opinion on Hernangomez (who I've only seen briefly), I'd rank spots 14-15 in this order (assume Banton gets 12, Koloko gets 13, and Svi is waivable).

1. Champagnie
2. Brooks
3. Hernangomez
4. Wilson
5. Svi

Basically I'd go with Champagnie and Brooks. Champagnie got hurt, but he showed a lot of promise last year. And was one of our best players in the G-league. Brooks was a huge chucker in summer league, but he's got a 40% 3pt shot. If he stays in his lane a bit, he's promising. The problem there is we already gave Dowtin a 2-way deal.. and if Malachi shows us something, he'd be ahead of Brooks in the pecking order.. but that's a pretty big if unfortunately. I think the real camp battle will be between Malachi and Brooks to be honest. If Malachi underwhelms at camp then you go with Brooks.

Wilson IMO blew his chance in SL. Svi should have played in SL as well to show us any improvements he had in his game. He did not deliver at all last year.

As for Hernangomez.. he has the size that we like and all. Just would blend too much into this team too much. I don't see when he would play to be honest. Even with injuries. But our front office knows what they're doing.

Training camp and preseason games. Internal competition and then a chance to show something against real NBA players. Everything till then is just shuffling and acclimatization.

Hernangomez has shown flashes of a 3 pointer too. Very inconsistent, but has averaged out to about 35% for his career. If they think they can get him consistent based on what he shows in camp, maybe they give him a spot.

I'd agree it should come down to your top three, and I'm leaning to Champagnie (who seems a sure thing) and Brooks as well.

Banton and Champagnie seem like locks. That leaves no roster spots without cutting Svi.

I think Brooks is toast. We'd have to cut Svi to sign him and he's not worth it in my opinion. He sucked in summer league and Dowtin didn't and took his spot.

I think Juancho is battling Svi for a roster spot. If he out plays him at camp we cut Svi to make room for Juancho.

Brooks sucked at summer league? He had one particularly bad game that crushed his average stats. Outside of that, he had one dominant offensive game where he almost won it by himself, one game where his outside shot wasn't there but he made up for it with smart inside scoring and overall play (big contributor to that final win that almost got them to the finals), and one quieter game.

I thought he looked pretty good, and the bits where he didn't look good were when he was asked to do a lot more than he'd be asked to do on the Raps. The cold shooting hurts his stats, but we know he's a good shooter, judging that on a teeny tiny sample of shots over 5 games would be silly.

Cutting Svi is not a significant barrier. Question really is as simple as which of the three they want. Doubt the guaranteed salary plays into it at all, they've left themselves enough room to not worry about that.
