The Toronto Raptors clinched another Summer League victory on Sunday night despite injuries to Gradey Dick and Jonathan Mogbo
The Toronto Raptors moved to 2-0 at Summer League on Sunday thanks to an 84-81 come-from-behind victory over the Denver Nuggets.Branden Carlson has been among the biggest bright spots for the Raptors through two Summer League games so far. While he didn't have a stellar shooting night on Sunday, his defense has been better than expected. He had six blocks against the Nuggets and his 7-foot frame impacted Denver's ability to score inside.
Walter looks like an active defender and while that can sometimes lead to him being a little over-aggressive and out of possession, Toronto will take him being too aggressive for now.Jamal Shead Continues to Impress On Sunday, though, Shead nailed both his three-point attempts and added two more deep mid-range jumpers. He hit a corner three-pointer and then used a screen from Carlson to step into a pull-up three above the break. If Shead's three-point stroke can keep defenses honest, the impact of his defense at the other end will certainly give him a chance to fight for rotation minutes with Davion Mitchell.
