All eyes are on Gradey Dick and Markquis Nowell, but there are a few other things to watch out for at Summer League OrenWeisfeld
The challenge begins in Summer League for Dick, who will have to prove he can hold up on the defensive end of the floor against bigger and more athletic players than he played in college, while continuing to shoot the ball well from long distance despite the NBA’s more distant 3-point line.
Nowell is always going to be fighting an uphill battle due to his limited size and strength, but the New York native is not short on confidence, calling VanVleet his “twin” and tweeting “I Will Go From Being Underrated To Undeniable.” When it comes to new faces, Moses Brown might be the most interesting. The 7-foot-2 big man was a five-star high school recruit before averaging nearly a double-double as a freshman at UCLA in 2018-19. After going undrafted, he has bounced around six different NBA teams, averaging 5.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in just 12.4 minutes per game. Brown doesn’t shoot the ball but he is long and very mobile for his size.
Following reports that former head coach Nick Nurse and his team of at least 10 assistant coaches were not all on the same page last season, the Raptors have completely revamped — and shrunk — their bench. What will be just as fascinating as how the new coaching staff meshes with the players on a personal level —— will be the new system the Raptors implement at Summer League. It could look drastically different from the way they played last season on both ends of the floor.
