Sg cats - elite fg% back to back years - above average , 1.2-1.3 - above average ft% - above average TO - above average blocks from Sg, .4 - 16 points ppg if your punt assists he’s a top 50 player easily As a Raps fan he’s a prime regression candidate and is likely getting moved. Toronto wants to get Matt Thomas more involved and have Davis/Flynn as other guards 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those type of guards are the ones you need on the court. If they trade him that would be a horrible idea for a title contending team Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But let’s be real the raptors ain’t closing games with Jimmer Fredette I mean Matt Jones. 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brye 419 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Matt Jones free throw % 4 years at duke.... Ft % At Duke -2014 56% -2015 71% -2016 74% -2017 73% in the g league in 2019 he shot 42% and scored 11-12 points in 35 mins per game...... yeah Powell shot 48%, and scored 16.5 per game in 28 mins in the NBA, and he’s a career 80 something % free throw shooter. again I don’t see where your seeing Matt Jones being the guy, from all the scouting reports I see as well he’s slow Laterally for his position and that won’t translate well for him defensively but hey the NBA won’t exploit his defense right? verdict: your passes on him and are holding me of said guards you say will take his spot or minutes and have no clue what your talking about.

ovenchicken 27 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Nurse is giving massive minutes to Lowry/Van Vleet. Its only a matter of time before 1 or both are injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back to Powell, Raptors are at their best when he plays around 20 minutes. Last year he got extended run due to injuries and he will not get that this year. Thomas and Davis are much cheaper than Powell (who couldn't get starting job in 5 years) Edited December 26, 2020 by Gile Pile 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a reasonable take, especially considering how frequently Lowry gets hurt to begin with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monkeyking69 286 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I hope he doesn't regress from last season. Agreed from few posters that its unfortunately inevitable one of them misses a few games here and there due to minor injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, I'm a Raptors fan. Playing the vet Lowry 39 minutes is just unwise if we want to have him available throughout the season. Nurse seems to have no trust in the bench and the starters are getting heavy minutes. Van Vleet is no iron man either. Running your players into the ground Tom Thibodeau style is going to lead to injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

" I don't know how else to interpret this. Whatever, it's all water under the bridge... You can interpret it as me believing the odds are likely 1 or both will be injured at some point this season. Give your head a shake. Lowry plays hard, takes charges, and puts his body on the line. With heavy minutes he's going to miss games. it is what it is. Freddy is undersized and plays hard as well. Lowry's last 3 seasons: 4 games missed, 17 games missed, 14 games missed Van Vleet's last 3 seasons (1st season split between g-league): 6 games missed, 18 games missed, 18 games missed This season is compressed with additional back-to-backs. Its going to be tough if Nurse is playing them high 30s every night. The Raps won't be blowing teams out this season so there is no garbage time to rest these guys.

ComeOnAndSlam 526 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think Nurse realizes the playing time thing. He has specifically mentioned giving guys like Flynn, Matt Thomas, TD more mins and to be mindful of Lowry's mins. The fact is though when Toronto are losing games Nurse doesn't seem to trust anyone else to be in the backcourt unless one of the young guys are on fire. Powell will get his mins but he's his own worst enemy. When he's in one of those funks you just have to ride it out and wait for him to pick it back up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Espoiral 478 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 What even is this. Can’t believe I’m contemplating dropping him. Not getting the minutes at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
80version 785 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 This guy is looking like my biggest miss in the draft so far. Oof. Hoping they're bringing him along slowly after a limited pre-season. Gonna be patient and see how he looks with a little more PT, eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jay_00 259 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Wow, this is bad. He was my last pick in all my auction leagues so I can't be mad at cutting him already. Normally I wouldn't cut loose after only 2 games, but he looks awful and there's some good options on the wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the1gq2nvy 214 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think he will pick it up. Can't possibly forget how to play all of sudden and raptors didnt make any major changes to roster so he similar mins Quote Link to post Share on other sites
