He was signed 2 days ago. BC is 25 years old. He has a nice offensive game. Not physical nor athletic but highly skilled. Raps summer league team should be nice.

They also signed Joseph Girard aka Joe Girard to the Summer league roster.

I heard Carlson’s interview on ESPN Utah and it sounds like the Raptors really liked him after he worked out for us before the draft. He said he actually came here to do his workout for the team and really liked the coaching staff and how he felt like the workout went really well because he got good feedback from the Raptors who loved his size and ability to stretch the floor or play inside. He said the raptors called him even before the 2nd round was over and told him they wanted to sign him to a 2 way deal right away. Also he said he liked the city and got to see the facilities and how he’s coming back on June 31 to train with the team and get ready for summer league. Jonay’s downfall was this guy’s biggest opportunity. I think just signed a bunch of these guys because we really liked their game and just didn’t want to leave anything on the table without getting a look at them in our system. If you notice all these players are shooters or good defenders. Even the players we signed to our summer league like Joe Girard are shooters. This leads me to believe they’re looking to put a lot of shooters around Scottie and they’re trying to see who fits that style so they can keep them in the system on 905 and go back to developing players like the Norm Powell and Fred era.

@BennyGeserit 26 күн бұрын

On a 2-way means some time with the Raps and some 905. His long ball shot looks pro caliber. He is our first 2-way deal. We still have two 2-way spots and it will not be Mogbo or Shead. Summer league will produce those is my guess. JFL is on a standard contract if he makes the team. Davion Mitchell is going to help this team as role player. Not sure Vezenkov is anything to stress about.

Masai & Bobby been on a heater since that OG trade. We got a whole reality show at Summer League of trying to make the team. I watched a few games of BC at Utah and I always liked his game. He reminds me of KO for real, his game is like him. I hope he makes the team since he can make 3s.

He more than likely won't get minutes in the rotation unless injuries add up. Most likely the 905's starting center. I hope the Raps sign a free agent center like James Wiseman to back up Poeltl allowing Olynyk to be the back up PF.

Not really a lie. They didn't want to lock in too many rookies. Ie; guaranteed contracts via 1st round picks. Teams always have 8-10 rookies ready for summer camp and at least half of those make training camp with maybe 1-2 making the final squad.

@@IceManLikeGervin You realize there's a massive difference between 1st round guaranteed contracts and 2nd round/FA contracts, right? 2nd and FA can be 1 year, 2-way and stashed in the G like Nowell and others were last year or dropped immediately. 1st rounders sign 4-year rookie scale contracts guaranteed for 2 years. 2nd rounders are not subject to rookie scale and are NOT guaranteed. Massive difference.

Raptors have 11 one way players signed already, assuming we get absolutely nothing for GTJ. Then we have free agency tomorrow so unless they sign absolutely no one, which won't happen since they need a Big/Bench big for when Poeltl isn't on the court. That means theres at max 1-2 spots left which one of those is already going to be taken by Jakobe Walter. Just need to use ur brains a little to see there won't be any room for rookies on this roster even if they wanted to have a few rookies around.
