This Signing Has Raptors Fans FIRED UP…
The Trona Raptors just made a signing that has some Raptors fans fired up so we’re going to break down the signing in this video what it means for the rest of the roster because as we indicated yesterday the kind of moves messiou Jerry was making was going to lead to
Some tough decisions so we’ll break it all down in this video but before we do folks again I think we’re like five subscribers away from 34,000 so would mean the world to me if you guys could hit that subscribe button so we can keep delivering you all of the latest Toronto
Raptors news and hit that crazy Milestone of 34,000 subscribers but let’s dive into what’s been going on because it feels like every day there’s a new type of signing for the Toronto Raptors whether it’s a main roster signing a two-way deal a 10-day contract whatever it is Messi you Jerry right now
He is out here cooking he is out here making different moves and now more moves ended up happening yesterday which has some Toronto Raptor stands fired up which will describe why basically news came out from Shams the athletic breaking down the Toronto Raptors are signing g-league OKC Blue Guard jamas
Ramsey to a 10day contract and the Kings uh former second rounder averaged 26 Point 20.6 points per game 7.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in the G League this season so jamas is a very interesting player he’s a guy that looking at his sort of player profile again another
Younger dude 63 shooting guard so playing the position that the Toronto Raptors are completely loaded at right now 10day contract so probably I don’t expect him to get a crazy opportunity I don’t know if this is going to be a long-term signing we’re going to break
Down the type of player that he is but he is a shooting guard he is an athlete now this isn’t the main reason people are fired up because again some people are looking at this is maybe something that’s a bit redundant given how the roster shaken out but now with all the
Injuries to Bruce Brown Scotty Barnes and yaka purle maybe we’re going to be super depleted it just makes sense as hot sign the best player as possible but again only 22 years old will be 23 in you know the summer average in the NBA three points per game you know 46 uh
40.6% from the field and 27% behind the three-point line you know looking at his stats you know over the course of his Sacramento Kings career not a massive sample size very small minutes per game but could put up some buckets could at least do some things at the NBA level
Wasn’t uh Tony Snell’s statline you know putting up uh stats when he was with the Sacramento Kings but again no breakout years you know in 2020 or 2021 2022 season but definitely a guy that has a bit of NBA experience but the reason why he got signed and the reason
Why he got picked up for the Toronto Raptors is because of his g-league stats and he’s been a standout for the OKC blue for the past couple Seasons here now at this point basically this season being his best year so far averaging 22 points per game as Shams alluded to you
Know the eight rebounds the four assists and these are the g-league stats sometimes Shams doesn’t put up the same stat numbers as the g-league actual websites so I find that interesting it’s confused me on a few of these videos but the interesting part has been his Improvement shooting the basketball now
Again you can kind of look at it over the course of his career and I guess in his uh 2021 season only four games so a small sample size there shot 50% but over the course of his uh career his three-point shot has definitely improved to this season we’re again on a decent
Sample size now in 18 games shooting 42% from behind the three-point line now in the NBA we saw that 3point percentage be in the 26 27% range but now it’s up to 42% in the G League now the free throw shooting is a little bit of a concerned because while his three-point
Percentages have been increasing his free throw shooting has been going down and usually free throw shooting cuz again it’s 18 games is a pretty decent sample size especially 22 last year you know it’s a good indicator in terms of improvement of a jump shot but free throws they’re going to be the same
Whether you’re playing high school basketball NBA basketball G league basketball whatever it is your free free throw stuff is going to be the same the Closeouts in the NBA are going to be a little bit different you know the defensive schemes what you’re going up against your specific role could change
And could affect how your three-point shot is going to go down on the big level but frankly free throws I guess the bigger crowds might have a little bit of an effect but really they should be staying the same and the fact that free throws are going down is a bit of a
Concern you know in terms of the development of the jump shot free throws are a good predictor in terms of whether or not a guy will be able to develop their jump shot into a place that’s going to be really good in the NBA so weird that that’s sort of decreasing but
An athletic guard you know I can slash I can certainly get Buckets you know at that g-league level and uh you know it’s scoring it’s hitting some thre so an intriguing Prospect again we’ll have to see if he actually gets on the court to really get hyped up about this sort of
Acquisition you know 10-day deal I think with Javon Freeman Liberty I’d much rather him end up getting some run rather than you know uh you know this kind of random 10day sort of pickup but again darker Royal which will hopefully play the best players or the best young
Prospects some of the best players are sitting out right now with Chris buet being out of the lineup but why are Toronto Raptors fans fired up about this because obviously there’s the little things another 10 days this really Mak sense you know another guy it’s a shooting guard we have tons of these
Players well the main reason was the repercussions of bringing in you know JFL as a main sort of roster and bringing in what’s it called having another two-way guy in Mohammed du you know having him as a two-way slot the Raptors had to make another acquisition and there was some speculation in my
Video yesterday that hey we’ll convert jonte Porter to a main roster spot so you know another two-way guy could stay on the roster but that wasn’t the case the Raptors have officially waved Maris Noel to open the two-way spot for Mohammad du and then gave this roster
Spot right now to uh J jamas Ramsey so basically the sacrificed player with all the moves that have happened over the past two days has been Maris Noel who is a guy that was a Raptor’s kind of fan favorite people wanted to see him at least get some sort of opportunity
Especially to close off this year I’m not sure the baseball disappeared but to close off this season they wanted to see him get some sort of run get some sort of opportunity to play with the Raptor main group and unfortunately it didn’t end up being the case in the g- league
He put up some decent stats you know putting up about 16 points per game in the G League 37% from the three-point line was a really good facilitator at eight assists per night you know had two steals per game again even though he’s smaller he used to be a pesky Defender
You know in 11 games played and stuff I mean our s sure he’s 24 sure it it would have been tough at 5’7 to really grow and develop a no player but give him at least a little bit of run to end off this season see how he looks see if he
Can shock everyone he’s been shocking everyone his entire career I mean he had this post the summer saying that he’ll be the greatest player to ever Dawn a Toronto Raptor Jersey and it really didn’t even get to Don it you know Raptor repor Raptor 9905 Jersey but you
Know it would have been a cool story especially if the Raptors are you know pursuing that sort of tank the second half of the Year Maris no well could have been a fun storyline a fun guy to watch in the last sort of month and a
Half of the Season again even if he didn’t get run you know give him some of that sort of late minute sort of opportunities I don’t know and maybe again you want to see the best possible players you want to run through things of your younger roster and again jamas
Ramsy could potentially be a guy that is an interesting piece could surprise everyone might be you know have a little bit more statures putting up better stats on the g- league is probably the better player but know the story would have been awesome with Maris sowel so to
See him get cut after the hype that was building up early on the season then we didn’t even get the pay offer even get to see if he would really work out on the floor obviously the front office has seen it but just as fans you know see
Him Donald Raptor Jersey it just kind of it sucks for some Raptors fans some are really fired up about this I’m not I’m kind of indifferent because I think it’s probably the right move but emotionally I think it sucks but let me know what you guys think about all this in the
Comments section down below excited with this signing think MSI jury’s done making moves here now at this point the roster is completely overhauled from where it was even just a month ago so crazy stuff is going on right now so subscribe to the Raptor side just you
Want to stay up to date I’m signing up cheers

Why Did you become a legend and when did you start working on YouTube?🌺🌺
Hats off and recognition! Good work, more of it please❤️❤️
Ayee
It's nice that there are people like you😀
I like your videos, do them more often🍇🍇🍇
Seriously? another guard?
What about the BIG? lol
Lol what is up with all these booty profile pic users commenting
How in the world did Ben Rogers become my go to Raptors dude? I mean I come to this channel after every game. Bravo!
Its because barnes is down.
How is it a surprised move? The Raps need pgs like they needed centers over the past 3 or so seasons. IQ is the only pg on the roster signed to a standard NBA contract. How insane is that in today's up and down NBA? I don't know why they wouldn't bring in a veteran pg like Cory Joseph who was recently waived by GS? A veteran pg to teach the younger pgs the ropes… He would fit better on the roster than say Garrett Temple.
More seven footers please.
Anyone getting fired up about any of these signings needs to walk outside and get some fresh air
Nowell’s “I’m going to be the greatest Raptor of all time” comment didn’t age well at all. Man didn’t even make it out of a G League season.
😂😂😂😂
Congrats on 34k!
Maybe there's some aspect of these shooting guard 10 day contracts that are meant to show our shooting guard prospects things about their game that they could add
I can see why they gave this guy a 10 day deal. He’s a combo guard so he can play PG or shooting guard and he has shown he can guard different position at the G League level. It doesn’t matter if he sticks around or not. As an organization it’s your job to scout players and take flyers on those showing signs they can play in the NBA. There’s too many fans with the mentality of “why are we signing G League scrubs” guys like Rudy Gobert were “ G League scrubs” if you’re not scouting these guys and taking flyers on them you’re not doing your job.
I'm happy with the moves that were made but I'm sad to see nowell get cut
May any question about Scotty being a PG be layed to rest..He goes down and we dont grab a PF.. we grabbed a GUARD!!! SCOTTY"MAGIC"BARNES! #Tank-pleez!! 🤟🏽
Sucks for the little dude, and I don’t mean Ben Roger’s. Nowell was a Gleauge all star (I’m pretty sure). But he’s so small man. It’s hard for 5’7 guys to make it in the nba. I think Bobby and Masai are making the right moves
Chill on Tony Snell. Look up his story. Don’t think it’s cool to punch down him anymore
Seems it doesn't take much for Raptor fans to get fired up…
I would love to work with you one day!
