The Toronto Raptors started off their NBA preseason campaign with a resounding 114-82 win against the Utah Jazz, showing out in front of the Canadian home crowd in Edmonton. Some of the most impressive players in that game were Dalano Banton and surprisingly Josh Jackson but with four more games to go before difficult roster decisions must be made by Masai Ujiri, Bobby Webster, Nick Nurse and every other decision maker in the Raptors organization, there is much to see from this group. There are a variety of players just looking to earn a roster spot, other trying to get in the rotation and even some who want to ascend to the next level.
Preseason gives us the ability so see what each of the players have been working on in their own game and shows coaches and fans the potential they have to improve their teams in the regular season. There are three players specifically that Jacob Gramegna am looking out for with that this season and in this Amateur Hour Sports main channel video he wants to share it with you guys?

can hernangomez even get cut? i thought his contract was guaranteed.
If Juancho can get them a solid 8 ppg and defend that’s good. He has a better and consistent shooting format than some of the guys we have on the roster.
Banton is gonna be a great bench piece. He is one of the quickest guys on the roster and has solid IQ.
Scottie’s play speaks for itself for the type of player he’s gonna be. Kid’s got a great personality and amazing work ethic.
I would prefer JJ if he actually gets better
No chance that Juancho is getting
cut. Eurobasket Finals is real playoff basketball. He showed conclusively he could do the 'rando who wins you a playoff game tbing'. That makes him an absolute lock. This comes as close to a fact as opinion ever gets:-)
i doubt juancho is gonna get cut
Falar com o Sr. António é como viajar 4.fo/COMOO no tempo, é sonhar acordado, é uma lição de vida…um poço de resiliência e um sorriso genuínol que nos abraça sem nos conhecer.
Honestly I want to see Justin Champagnie, Josh Jackson and Obviously Dalano Banton make the Rotations. I like Josh because he is a 4th pick meaning that someone saw something in him but the situation going Piston a failing team kill his motivation with a great raptors organization this kat can be a top pick again
Champagnie may get cut 😬 dude has been injured for the summer league now pre season where he supposed to show out to fight for the last roster spot it not looking good for him rn Josh looking more likely to get a spot over him plus he has been decent in his first game. I wanted Champagnie soo bad but it just not looking good for him and ain’t no way Juancho getting cut lol
gomez most likely was dead tired from all the travel in the days before the game
tbh i love everyone thats already on the raptors but i would let go of khem birch for dj wilson, sign banton, and sign josh jackson over champanie
idk malachi flynn did pretty good i think he did just as good as banton with different skill sets.
