I liked watching him for Xavier last year, and now after losing Bayless and most likely losing Calderon, he might be a decent signing if he plays well.

Well, unfortunately for you, Holloway isn't on the roster. Devoe Joseph is, though. Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun According to @RaptorsPR Tu Holloway no longer on Raptors summer league roster. Third string looks like Ben Uzoh's to lose. Really though, none of these players who aren't already guaranteed roster spots are likely to even get any sort of second look with Uzoh being the only exception. I'm kind of surprised that Alabi didn't get an invite. I seem to recall hearing Colangelo say that despite his contract being up, he would get a summer league invite and be given a chance at earning another contract. I wonder if something happened to make Colangelo change his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who is Devoe Joseph? lol And your right about BC saying Alabi would be on the roster for the summer team, I heard that interview too. Not sure why he's not there.

Built Ford Tough Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 And who is Devoe Joseph? lol 6'4 guard from Toronto. Played at Oregon (after transfering from Minnesota) and averaged 17/4/3 on 47% shooting and 42% from deep this past year. You would probably know him better as Cory Joseph's older brother or Kris Joseph's cousin, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of excited to watch how he does today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Davis and Ross played well, especially Ross. He really impressed me. I'd say he out played Lamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaptorsHQ Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 No Valanciunas? He's coming over next week to do his official contract signing. This is happening after his club contract is over and dealt with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I know it is only 2 Summer League games, but my all of my criticisms of Ross are proving to be 100% on the money. Aside from a step back jumper, he can't create his own offense. He is a two, three dribble max, type of player. He has no real in between game. It is either three point shot or an attempt at the rim (off of a cut or something). Is a complete system player who needs offense created for him. He will be a solid role player, but I can't help but think that he will be a more athletic prime Mo Pete. A decent player, but hardly anything to get excited about. Of course, I could be way off and when he plays with actual talent and not guys like Ben Uzoh he may thrive, but even then, that goes back to him being 100% reliant on others for his offense. I do like his defensive awareness, though. I expect Casey will be able to mold him into a good defensive player. At the end of the day, it is the Summer League so I'm not going to write him off or anything like that. Even if I hated the pick at the time, I'm not going to make a hasty decision based on two Summer League games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Raptors final Summer League game is about to start. Playing the New York Knicks. This will be the first full game I've been able to watch (probably watched about 8 quarters between the other games they've played) so I guess better late than never to watch a full game.

Built Ford Tough Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Really like the work that Davis and the coaching staff have done in rebuilding his jumper. It looks a lot better than what we saw from him the past two years. He doesn't shoot across his body anymore nor does his free throw shooting have a hitch anymore. He shoots it in one fluid motion and just looks significantly better. Him shooting around 72% from the free throw line in the SL did not look like a fluke to me. I think the mechanical improvements that they made are going to result in him being a much improved free throw shooter this year. Not only that, his elbow jumper looked a lot better as well. I know the defense in SL is poor, but I was impressed by his ability to stick those elbow jumpers. I'm actually very impressed at how much ED has improved as a shooter in just 3 months since the season finished. I'm looking forward to seeing what else he can add to his game during the rest of the offseason since this really is his first real offseason being able to work with the team. I liked what I saw from Joseph today as well. If only he could play some point, I would love him as a 3rd string point guard but I just don't think he has it in him at this point in his basketball career. I think him going overseas for a year or two and then looking to make the jump back to the NBA will be the most likely course of action. I can definitely see him in the NBA a few years down the road. Other than that, nothing really stood out to me. Ross was bad and hardly played (looked like he tweaked his lower back or maybe a hamstring) and Uzoh was a train wreck (don't care what his stats showed, dude was awful). I think Uzoh effectively played himself off of the roster with his pathetic SL showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
