I said he's a G-Leaguer. That's it.
Masai loves these type of players like Miller, and Bruno, and Bebe and Brown. And MOST fans of this forum loves to hype them up too.Mamba Mentality

And it's been a great tool for our draft picks as well. It was clearly beneficial for Siakam, Wright, Poeltl and Powell (ignoring Powell's collapse this season).
For some reason you only focus on Bruno, Bebe, Brown and Miller, the guys who failed to make an impact for the Raptors. And really, Brown should never have been given minutes, even with a PG injured, and Bebe should only get minutes with injuries (and got way too many minutes). Don't know why you ignore the players who clearly benefited from the D/G-league team and had an impact for us at one time or another since the 905 was created.

That's not a "risk" that's wishful thinking. Best case scenario for him is an NBA bench warmer.Mamba Mentality

This happens so often for Masai. I hope this guy works out well, he certainly has been given a golden opportunity.

People also have to realize that good teams get good time out of players like this. Golden State has found rotation players here there and everywhere. The Spurs, we all know the value they've gotten from 2nd rounders and undrafted guys. The Lakers used to get production out of Lonny Baxter for F's sake.
It's on lottery teams, where guys like Rawle would be up against lottery players with lottery egos, that guys like this flounder. On good teams they can flourish.

Watching highlights for this guy, and I really like what I see. He is efficient and decisive with his drives and decision making, is a very good catch and shoot guy, hustled really hard for loose balls and offensive rebounds. I don’t really see Lance in him because he doesn’t over dribble and he takes really good shots. He’s getting a layup, a 3, or he’s passing out. Explosive athlete, will to win, the intangibles seem to be here. He could work his way into the rotation potentially for us, and I would argue he may be a better fit for this team already than a guy like Norm, who really struggles with the ball in his hands.
