Carlson is good. we need spacing and he fits oerfectly

[@owenchow323]

love love looooove the raw talent of our new prospects.... exciting things to come!

[@MrBaltch]

I love the promise of our young bench. Hope we get a lot of these guys to the 905 if they can't be on the team.

[@thebizkore9315]

Carlson is going to be a starter long term for the raptors.

[@windowman9665]

Someone made a good point and I agree. This is the best young crop we have ever had since it was: Pascal, norm, yak and Fred. If Jakobe, dick, mogbo, chomche, shead can replicate the first young crop we are laughing!!!!! Nevwrmind already having Scottie , RJ , Iq. Oh and what’s up with koloko sitting next to the raptors brass at summer league???? Is he coming back maybe?

Masai said he would try to resign Koloko once he got cleared medically to play, if someone else didn't snap him up.

he is 2nd year, he is suppose to be better than the rookies and gleague players. the reality is if you are 2nd year, you should be too good for summer league with a year under your belt. if you are not, then your career is heading in the wrong direction.

[@Here4aLyfeTime]

@@giovanni-ed7zqI can name plenty of 2nd year players who did not dominate summer league in the second year who have ended up having great careers….some just take longer to develop especially bigs

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@Here4aLyfeTime i am just saying if you 2nd year, you are suppose to dominate and be better than 19-20 year olds and gleague players. if ya not then its likely the nba career is not headed in an optimal direction to maximize their earnings. they may end up being a back of the bench role player eventually but thats not a good trajectory.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@Here4aLyfeTime and most of those guys that are not good in summer league but are allowed to hang around for longer than they should are guys who were lottery picks so teams still hoping so they let them stick around.

He has cried wolf in the past, over evaluating talent, but he is young and learning. This time, he is right to be excited (IMO), I am excited. I haven' seen this much potential talent since the Norm, FVV, Pascal days.

[@TerminalBhvr]

@@MagnetiKKnawledgesummer league?

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Impressed by Gradey who in two games has shot (8-26 fg / 0-9 3fg)? But downing JLF who in 2 games has shot (10-25 FG / 4-12 fg)? Make it make sense. JFL (5-10 fg / 3-6 3fg) had a solid bounce back game vs Denver while Gradey (2-9 fg / 0-5 3fg) continued his cold streak before twisting his ankle right before halftime. With GD on the court the Raps were losing to Denver. Once GD sat out the second half the Raps came back to beat Denver with JFL leading the charge.

[@destinduckworth5484]

@@IceManLikeGervinare dvmb or something? Gradey showed that he more than he can hit threes with his rebounding passing etc, and will actually shoot better when he plays around stars, while jfl is one-dimensional, doesn’t pass the ball, and doesn’t play defense, how bout watch the games instead of instead of looking at stats, and acting like you know stuff which you don’t goofy, so shutup clown

Let's get some better titles there, Ben. Quality titles to go with quality videos.

[@smartenuphumans]

AO, the only starter in the (plus), means he is playing D, w/o stellar offensive numbers. Liberty is a (D-League Darling), he does well with this level of talent, but struggles in the bigs. Must move/release Boucher - Carlson can take his spot. Battle won't get a chance to shoot that open in the bigs.

[@jeffreym.8957]

When Boucher was playing Summer League he destroyed the competition. And likely still can.

[@johnpalcon7570]

id rather us commit for to the youth than holding 2-3 vets... if we get all young players, they will get the minutes and theyll boost their value better for future trades we can make, not to mention their contracts will be cheap and be a valuable asset

Speak for yourself…. The audacity to tell fans to not feel excited about the youngsters because its summer league is ridiculous

[@jeffreym.8957]

Exactly. Let's just be super negative about everything and then jump on the bandwagon after they get to another Finals... Summer League is all about helping hoop dreams come true. It's not about whether you found a way to shut down Jokic and Tatum.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

its a good year to tank for raptors. one can say the blazers are better than the raptors. they have deni avdila, jerami grant, robert williams back, ayton and rupert. to me the blazers likely have a better defence than raptors. the blazers also have scoot, sharpe, clingan and simons. blazers actually have guys that can take players off the dribble and create their own shot.

because he is a good veteran. a lot of young players speak very highly of him helping them out to learn and guide them in the NBA.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

@@conwayGAMES Temple is a guard on a roster loaded with guards but short on frontcourt length. Then Temple should be an ast coach. The Raptors are rebuilding and need all the talent that they can cultivate on the roster.

[@chadarsenault6384]

Temple was one of our better players the tail end of the year last year compete balling out and he's a great lockerroom leader and voice Gary is gonna be 40 year old still on our roster

@@chadarsenault6384 Last season was a disaster at the tail end. And Temple was just another scrub at the end of last season. I watched all of the games. Btw- his name is Garrett.

​@IceManLikeGervin bud love how u trash on every dude while they would do circles around u pretty sure u have nothing on any one of them temple was a absolute beast last year for his age he was playing amazing stop the nonsense

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Gradey shot (2-9 fg / 0-5 3fg) vs Denver before twisting his ankle right before halftime. JFL (5-10 fg / 3-6 3fg) even bounced back from a bad shooting night in game one. I mean all the rookies were making 3fgs against Denver like Shead (2-2), Walter (2-6), Battle (3-5), Chomche (1-1), Carlson (1-4) - but Gradey can't make one? He's more hype as a shooter than being a natural shooter. He's a very streaky shooter. The Raps were losing with GD on the court but they won when GD had to miss the 2nd half due to injury. The Raps are once again wasting a roster spot on Garrett Temple, a guard when the Raps are loaded at guard, instead of potentially having Braden Carlson on a standard contract and signing a player like Jamison Battle to a two way contract.

[@marcobernardo2527]

Garrett Temple is basically a player-coach. He is getting paid vet minimum player salary instead of a much lower assistant coaches salary. Many of the players, including Scottie, have praised Garrett's help in their professional development. This young Raptors team needs that right now. If Toronto didn't sign him, I'm sure that there would be other teams in development that would have added him. I think after this year he retires and Garrett Temple will be an assistant coach somewhere.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

@@marcobernardo2527 He's being paid $3.3 million. Ain't no other team looking to sign a 38 year old Garrett Temple. The Raptors need to roster as many players as they can to develop. A waste of a roster spot.
