Masai loves them lanky nikkas at the forward spot and undersized cats in the back court.

Yeah, it feels like the roster is set already and Banton and Dekker are fighting for that last spot because Yuta and Wainright have much larger guarantees than either of those guys.
I'm morbidly curious how this roster of long armed non-shooters will look like playing NBA games

Wainwright is weird to me.
He's like 6'4 250 and I have no idea where he would play. Maybe a PJ clone, but I don't think he shoots it that well but I could be very wrong on that

I thought he was pretty bad tonight. Looked super lost on both ends alot. Atleast he fought and got to the line a bunch though I guess
I thought Precious and Banton were both really good though
Bantons a way better athlete than I thought. Not really a jumper but he he's pretty quick and agile for his size.
Precious looked like a legit swiss army knife. He might be pretty good
He got to the line he made some nice moves with the ball in his hands...Coaching was fukkn awful we had him standing in thr corner way too much.
We had him and Flynn off the floor for 5 min intervals didnt make any sense...that bully move and fade on Kuminga was nice,like i said its not about stats but what he shows and he has shown some tools...
Dudes will say Kuminga was nice but i believe he was 5-18 from the floor and Suggs FG % hasnt been good either...
It was an ugly game as expected for summer league. Barnes showed some flashes.. That fadeaway he had on Kuminga was nice. 
Speaking of Kuminga, This young nicca is gonna be nice once he puts it all together.. I mean the dude is build like a tank already at age 18.

Barnes didn't have a good game today, but the rotations were ass too. His best play for me was when he took the ball coast to coast with a series of behind the back move.
I understand it's summer league but we got too many guys that do the same thing. You could see it in the offence, everyone looked like they were taking turns and trying to play setup man rather than playing their roles. Like they need a big 7 footer that's just going to do things a 7 footer does. They need a real sg/sf that can hit shots or drive strong.
And how many times does Freddie Gillespie fall on the floor in one game? I swear he falls on the ground ever 10mins.

I dont understand why Gillespie is on this team....I didnt like him last year and i dont like him now,seems to have no role on this team anymore with the additional big men brought in...

he’s there for insurance if birch or precious get hurt
He's an energy guy so I don't mind him too much, he serves his purpose. But if we are going into this whole position-less system, Gillespie makes it a 4vs5 game because he has no other skill.
No feeling the aim of this Raptor Summer League. Outside of Flynn, it's just a roster of ok ball handlers.

Agree on Gillespie. They need to give the 7 footer from the Africa League more of an opportunity
He's an athletic 7 footer who's good defensively. We already know what Gillespie is and isn't. Doesn't make any sense to me to bring in a kid coming off a huge season who is exactly (on paper) what this team doesn't have right now and just sit him and give him no opportunity

Your objective semi-troll
I think Barnes will be fine in the end but I sometimes I wish this team would just draft the obvious BPA, regardless of positional need. Figure out movement after. We always get the silence/gasp when we draft top 10.
Looking forward to seeing how Flynn improves running the point.
