P. Achiuwa19 MIN, 9 PTS, 10 REB, 0 AST, 1 STL, 3-9 FG, 0-1 3FG, 4- FT, 0 BLK, 2 TO, -17 +/-
I used to be instantly invested in Treasured’ improvement the second he turned the centrepiece of the Kyle Lowry commerce. Take him later in your fantasy basketball drafts! Whether or not he begins or not, his switchability goes to make it troublesome to maintain him on the bench.

S. Barnes25 MIN, 9 PTS, 3 REB, 7 AST, 0 STL, 4-10 FG, 0-1 3FG, 1- FT, 1 BLK, 0 TO, -9 +/-
The fanboy in me wish to see him provoke each offensive set, but it surely’s spectacular understanding he can influence the sport in numerous methods. That stretch within the second quarter throughout which he hit a number of midrange jumpers – inject that into my veins. Additionally, Scottie is shortly engaged on his “no-look go” combine.

G. Dragic22 MIN, 16 PTS, 4 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 5-9 FG, 4-5 3FG, 2- FT, 0 BLK, 2 TO, -10 +/-
Our favorite Raptor Goran Dragic performed with a few of that juice Nick sometimes refers to. Above common capturing from deep, somebody to sometimes deal with the ball, and a knack for collapsing defenses. That’s all we want from him. If he can present that even at 80 p.c of the time, it’ll be a win-win situation for Goran and the Raptors.

G. Trent Jr.24 MIN, 12 PTS, 6 REB, 0 AST, 3 STL, 4-14 FG, 1-7 3FG, 3- FT, 0 BLK, 1 TO, -9 +/-
We received some good power from GTJ tonight, significantly on the defensive finish. There has additionally been an elevated effort to get to the rim recently. It’s going to be a wild journey for each his supporters and doubters. He may drop an electrical 40 factors and simply as simply go 0 for 10.

Those that have adopted alongside know that I discover Isaac an enchanting prospect. Whereas he didn’t get many alternatives and his enthusiasm led to foul bother, he continued to tease a tantalizing skillset, significantly when he attacked the basket within the first quarter.
C+
I. Wainright18 MIN, 7 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST, 0 STL, 2-4 FG, 2-3 3FG, 2- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, +20 +/-
He didn’t pop on the display screen to the diploma of a few of his counterparts, however he was regular. Wainright received on the glass and knocked down some pictures whereas throwing his physique round.

The return of Large Shot Sam! That’s the way you battle on your profession! He didn’t assure his spot, however he no less than did what he’s greatest at, and that’s letting it fly from deep. And he received up on that dunk too! A few of you could have gotten on me for being onerous on the gamers with my grades, which is truthful. However this grade is because of Sam performing in what was a excessive strain sport for him.

This was the perfect efficiency we’ve seen from Freddie and it’s a disgrace it took him till the ultimate sport to amp up his sense of urgency. Freddie and Khem are technically the one “massive our bodies” we have now on the roster, so let’s see what occurs.
B+
J. Champagnie15 MIN, 4 PTS, 10 REB, 3 AST, 0 STL, 2-5 FG, 0-1 3FG, 0- FT, 0 BLK, 3 TO, +6 +/-
Champagnie has struggled to search out alternatives to contribute offensively because the first two preseason video games. There’s a enjoyable and energetic chemistry there with Banton.

Ok. Birch17 MIN, 6 PTS, 6 REB, 1 AST, 0 STL, 2-6 FG, 1-1 3FG, 2- FT, 1 BLK, 2 TO, +9 +/-
Each Nick’s gameplan and Pascal’s playstyle thrive when there’s an enormous that may threaten the protection from the perimeter. Seeing Birch’s three switch from final yr, particularly after virtually by no means capturing them in Orlando, is an effective signal.

M. Flynn26 MIN, 22 PTS, 2 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL, 6-15 FG, 3-9 3FG, 8- FT, 1 BLK, 0 TO, +17 +/-
Malachi’s power could also be as an initiator within the pick-and-roll, however the recipe to him holding off Dalano and stopping Dragic from taking his taking part in time shall be his potential to persistently knock down pictures. He has silenced doubters throughout this back-to-back.

I don’t suppose Banton has carried out sufficient to warrant not being put by the Raptors 905 expertise. Nevertheless, it’ll solely be a matter of time earlier than he’s requested to guide the second unit.

Svi was outplayed by Gary however he’s been one of many extra spectacular gamers throughout these 5 preseason video games. It’s going to be enjoyable watching him battle for minutes.
B+
Nick Nurse
I appreciated the combos he went with immediately. He gave every of the gamers combating for a roster spot an opportunity to point out what they may do.
Issues We Noticed
Alvin Williams struggled a bit immediately, however he’ll get higher because the season progresses. He’s nonetheless a legend. We DO want extra of these enjoyable anecdotes just like the Grasp P story.
The Scottie to Gary mixture is an sudden however nice plot twist.
I’m unsure Sam will get the final roster spot, however I simply know we’re going to wish him for that journey to Miami throughout a stretch we’re conveniently coping with accidents. We all know Miami goes to throw that zone at us, and any journey to Miami this yr is a must-win. 3D chess?
