I want arvydas sabonis' kid with the raptors own pick. He's basically a clone of his dad. Yes please.

The Raps are missing their C and a decent small forward. I'm not a big Carrol fan but jeez Ross can be bad sometimes.

Demarre is the engine of this team -- he ain't decent, he makes things happen.
JV is a offense machine but lacks d awareness, biyombo is the opposite but terrible. Still, playing decent these last 5 games is a blessing.

905
Is the reason there is a 905 team is to try and mask the ridiculous pick they made from Brazil. Is it working.

Not having a D-League team last year took a year away of his development. His defence is really coming along, but that offence is nowhere near NBA ready.
Delon Wright on the other hand is too good for the D-League. It's unfortunate that he's behind Lowry and CoJo on the depth chart because he deserves to be on an NBA roster.

With how much Casey loves the dual PG Lowry/Joseph backcourt, I'm a little surprised they don't bring up Wright. He could get those 2nd unit minutes when Casey chooses to play the main two PGs together.

Not happening. He's a total lost cause. I mean, he's shown very little progression (if any at all) and has been spoonfed opportunity after opportunity and won't take it.
Doesn't help that he has horrendous mental fortitude and is lazy as hell. He's basically Boston Gerald Green 2.0.
To be fair, some players still tend to be successful with just plain talent even if they dont have the inner motivation. However I have my doubts Ross is one of those players

Don't wanna beat on a dead horse but could you imagine a Drummond and Valanciunas front court ...
Ross just doesn't have the mental drive. He reminds me of Carter. All the talent in the world but plays too nonchalant. He has the flashy dunks and nice hops.
(Not saying he is as good as VC, I am just saying that VC in his prime could have been just as good as Kobe if he had the drive)

It was to give them an affiliate that they had control over. They could control how their prospects were developed instead of a team being shared by a rediculous amount of teams having that control.
It was a no brainer to have one regardless of Caboclo or not. He needs floor time. Which he wasn't even getting in the D-League last season due to that lack of control.
It's about having the control of development. Why wouldn't you get your own affiliate?

Spot on, and it gives Toronto a chance to maybe find that gem player that usually don't get signed. There are a ton of benefits to having a D league team. Glad they invested into one.
