Dalano Banton
Banton returns to the Las Vegas Summer League after a rollercoaster rookie season. As a 2021 2nd round selection, he fared well considered his time spent between the Raptors 905 and the senior team. With the 905, Banton was absolutely tremendous — leading the team to a 24-8 record (G-League best) while averaging 24/9/6 on .541/.393/.545 shooting splits. This summer, Toronto is primarily looking for enhanced shot-making ability while hoping Banton’s capacity to operate in a half-court setting...
Armoni Brooks
Although Brooks wasn’t a literal returnee from the 2021 Summer League roster, he did shuffle back and forth like Banton and Champagnie between the NBA and G-League. He spent some time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers (and looked damn good), while getting called up by the Houston Rockets. It’s clear what Brooks’ strengths are. He’s a knockdown shooter who is there as a floor-stretching machine. Much like Champagnie, he’ll likely be fighting for the last couple roster spots on the team. If tha...
Justin Champagnie
Justin’s season was similar to Banton’s in the sense that they both entered the 2021-2022 season as rookies and dominated their time in the G-League, while also collecting minimal minutes with the Toronto Raptors. Also like Banton, Champagnie is looking to use this Las Vegas stint as a springboard before heading into a training camp battle for rotation spots.
Alex Barcello
Barcello leaves BYU as a fifth-year senior, being one of the better players out of the Provo, Utah program. He initially played two years at Arizona before transferring to BYU He’s described by draft analysts as a solid shooter, with his range easily extending to NBA-level. A good playmaker and decent scorer off the dribble. On the downside, he struggles defensively against athletic opponents and lacks an elite first-step offensively.
Ron Harper Jr.
Harper Jr. has already agreed to a two-way dealwith the Toronto Raptors. He’s a terrific 3PT shooter (which the Raptors badly need at the wing position) and is an aggressive, effective player in transition (sound like a recent draft trend?). As a two-way player, he’ll likely bounce between the 905 and senior team during the upcoming season. Being one of the highly sought-after undrafted rookies, expectations will naturally be heightened in Las Vegas.
Ryan Hawkins
One of the older prospects, Hawkins has very similar traits to Barcello — just in a much bigger body. He’s a very good shooter, with solid off-the-dribble shot-making ability. One cool tidbit to Hawkins game is his penchant for finding mismatches and backing down smaller players. His back-to-the-basket game is something he constantly went to during his time at Creighton. He’s a good rebounder at his size, however is an average athlete and lacks NBA-level defense and playmaking ability. As a c...
Jeff Dowtin
A shiny Canadian quarter in donations for every time “senior” is mentioned in this piece. Yes folks, it’s another one. Jeff spent the 2021 preseason with the Orlando Magic, and the 2020-21 season with the Lakeland Magic of the NBA G League. After a 2021 Summer League with Golden State, he then had his contract converted into a Two-Way deal with the Warriors during the 2021-22 season. https://twitter.com/GLeagueTV/status/1423818714491785219?s=20&t=S9-C-oGM0Bd4oMaU7kIwMQ Dowtin was originally p...
Rodions Kurucs
Alright Raptors fans. Put the pitchforks down. Oh wait. You don’t remember? Yes, that Rodions Kurucs. I mean, let’s be fair. It’s not much. And to be quite honest, most Raptors fans could currently care less about an NBA player ‘shouldering’ Kawhi during a game. In 2019? Sure. In 2022? Let’s just say a lot has changed since then. Back to the basketball part. Kurucs is a skilled wing that possesses quite a fun, intriguing skillset. He was selected in the 2018 NBA Draft, 40th overall by the Bro...
Scottie Barnes
I mean, he’s the reigning Rookie of the Year. Barnes simply has nothing left to prove at this level.
Malachi Flynn
This may be a great sign for Flynn. Being thrown into the Summer League as a third-year player is usually never a good thing. His long-term future with the Raptors still seems murky, but the hope still remains with Flynn being the backup point guard; the same guard vacancy that some fans are currently screaming for Toronto to sign in free agency.
Yuta Watanabe
One of the clear fan-favourites of the last two seasons is currently an unrestricted free agent.
