That's been part of Toronto's plan for Dick since early last season when it became clear the one-and-done prospect out of Kansas wasn't physically ready for NBA playing time. The Raptors paused Dick's rookie campaign in December, sending him down to the Raptors 905 to work on his strength and conditioning.
"He got stronger this summer and you can feel it in how he's playing," Raptors president Masai Ujiri said during the television broadcast of Toronto's Summer League game."You can tell he's doing other things, trying to affect the game in different ways. And that's what you want from these players, to learn to start playing with force a little bit. ... He's had a good summer in terms of that kind of development.
