TORONTO — In his first ever NBA pre-season, forward Gradey Dick promised himself to put in long hours at the Toronto Raptors' training facilities and do whatever his coaches asked of him.
That dedication quickly paid dividends as it led to him appearing in a music video with famous Toronto rapper Drake.
"I had plans to meet Drake when he came back to Toronto but we happened to just be there randomly but he was like 'hey, why don't you hop in for a little cameo?'" "I think the schedule here calls for a lot more because, obviously, at school there’s more to juggle," said Dick."Here it’s just practice, get your work in, and then you have all day to really kind of utilize for your advantage whether that’s watch more film, sit down with coach, it’s just a lot more is asked of you.
Toronto hosts the Washington Wizards at Scotiabank Arena on Friday in their final game of the pre-season. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said he's looking for his team to keep flowing on offence.
