The Official 2016 Raptors Summer League Discussion

Only one Raptor with a grade from Pelton last night, plus one more player of interest.

How is 7-15 with 23 points not efficient

How is 7-15 with 23 points not efficient

Not that I'm an Insider and have read any of it, and I'm sure Pelton is working hard, but I don't think there's a ton of informative stuff to be gained from him since he has to watch and write about a whole day of games and players. That is if he's watching everything and not throwing out analysis of box scores.

Yeah fair enough but a quick look at the box score would show a TS% of 63%. Saying that's not efficient is nuts.

You guys are having a reading comprehension issue.

He didn't say not efficient, he said not his most efficient.

Powell scored 29 on 15 shots Sunday.

29 on 15 shots is more efficient than 23 on 15 shots.

sorry to make a demar comment but I would take any of those efficiencies over 7/20 for 23 points.

Technically correct! But for it to be relevant information, one would expect it to be descriptive of his performance. So unless he is noting in every player's notes every time they don't set a personal record for efficiency, the accusations seem fair.

No it's definitely an issue with how it's written. Why mention that it wasn't his most efficient day without mentioning how efficient his other day was. To me it reads like " oh it wasn't his most efficient day, but it was still alright" meanwhile he was very efficient.

Anyway I'm completely nitpicking here.

Anyone have the/a story on Daniels? Injury or no?

I'm sure him pointing out Jamal's good defensive play yesterday was from the box score.

Yeah, there's not a ton of info as he's watching a lot of games but criticizing for the sake of criticizing is rather petty.

It was poorly worded. But he didn't say what he was accused of saying. I'll agree that's fair. OK?

[white men can't jump]

Still think we should have traded with pelicans to get murray.

I don't think anyone would disagree with that except the Pels, who clearly valued the pick more than any trade offers.

Thanks for the criticism.

i was trolling 3 pelicans blogs leading up to the draft, listening to their pods, etc. they liked poeltl next to ad and valentine a lot. also have a lot of holes so were considering trades, including vets. they could of got poeltl, dejounte and a vet instead of buddy. i'd do that deal if im the pelicans. im wasnt so high on buddy tho.

didnt hear any credible trade rumour attached to them at the time so not sure how much they valued the pick? did u hear a rumour?

The Raptors took some big swings this month and, while Jared Sullinger wasn't Plan A, he's a viable fallback option: https://t.co/ThYZZ4Ojvw

Decent piece with a little bit of extra insight on the raps offseason so far. Apparently we were super close to getting Gasol, and the plan is to start sully.
