The Toronto Raptors will look to make it a perfect 3-0 in Summer League when they take on the Utah Jazz.
Toronto is 2-0 so far in Las Vegas, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets.
Gradey Dick and Jonathan Mogbo both left Sunday’s game with injuries. There has not yet been an update on their status for this game.
Ochai Agbaji
Agbaji needs to step up. It would be a great spot for him to do it against his former team the Jazz. The 24-year-old was called to Summer League to continue to develop his game, but it has been a rocky stint so far for him. He hasn’t been able to shoot the ball well or find his offense. If he wants to be a key rotation piece for the Raptors this season he needs to show a lot more.
Jamison Battle
Battle has been a standout for the Raptors so far in Summer League. As a result he earned himself an Exhibit 10 deal. He’s shooting 5-for-8 from three-point range and has done a great job in terms of getting open looks. He’s been a spark from off the bench and looks poised to keep it going.
Ja’Kobe Walter
Walter looked a lot better in his second game. Despite the inconsistent shooting, he looked a lot more comfortable and his release was good. He has shown some promise on defense, being very active on that end. Let’s see if Walter can have his best game yet with the Raptors.
