    Im sure Im not hte only one who has a take on this game but I’ll just say what i think and others can contribute

    Toronto Raptors

    Sonny Weems-
    Very athletic player, strong body and has the ability to get to the rim and get up and over otehrs to dunk. Very powerful dunker.. this guy can get up and finish strong. His mid range game is pretty good, needs to improve his 3 point shot though as he does not have that kind of range yet.. But he is very good at attacking the rim and getting to the stripe. Solid Defender. Finished the game with 19 points

    Demar Derozan-
    Very simular to Weems, strong, athletic body who can also get to the rim and dunk over people. Good finisher and great at getting to the free throw line. Very good from 10-15 feet away with a nice stroke from there. Like Weems, the 3pt shot isnt very consistent and it is something he needs to work on, could get some better ball handling aswell. Finished with 16 points,

    DD and Weems could be one of the most athletic 2-3 combos in the league.

    Ed Davis-
    I was surprised at how well he played.. Shows a nice touch inside with his left hand. Good rebounder, and has big, long arms. Good defender and shot blocker.. Offensive game is raw though. 15 points and 8 boards.

    Joey Dorsey-
    Beast on the boards, enough said.

    Solomon Alabi-
    Solid touch for a man his size, big guy, pretty good rebounder, good touch from the stripe for someone his size..

    Bobby Brown-
    Played a pretty nice game, good passer and has good quickness and finishing ability. Good stroke aswell. I expect him to make the team..

    Some Roll guy scored like 10 points in 7 minutes? I dont know who he is.. but he played well..

    Phoenix Suns

    Earl Clark-
    Played a OK game, has good size and length of course, and handles the ball well. FInished with 15 points but didnt make a whole lot of shots anf only make 5-10 free throws.

    Gani Lawal-
    He is a very good player.. Hes raw but you can see the talent there.. good rebounder, bad free throw shooter though.

    Janning has a decent stroke but didnt make a lot of shots

    Taylor Griffin is not his brother.

    Anything you want to add???

    Yeah well Ed Davis is looking good so as a Rap fan hopefully he can develop into a decent player to make up for the loss of Bosh

    hey, was that mike roll? I looked up the stats and saw it said roll had 10 points in 7 minutes on 4-5 shooting. Thats my boy from UCLA if it is him. Doubt he makes a squad, but glad to see him get some love.

    If Toronto can put the right pieces together they can actually have a better team than the one with Bosh. they have a lot of young talent but they need to find a way to get rid of Hedo.

    Yeah, Roll from UCLA. They were talking about how his numbers dropped when Kevin Love left and stuff. He has a nice shot and I can see him making a team.

    One player does not make a team. They have young players that should be a year better. Ed Davis is very good and they may also have a better bench. They also have trades that can be made because they have some nice assets

    Davis, Weems, and Derozan stood out.

    Weems showed the decent shooting touch he’s always had, especially from the 17 ft range. He also made a ton of athletic plays at the rim (did anyone catch those backdoor oops he had at the beginning of the 3rd quarter?!).

    Derozan still seems like an overrated athlete to me, but he played more aggressive than usual. He took the ball to the rim a good bit.

    Ed Davis showed that toch around the rim and the mini-hooks he has down low. He also scored a bunch off of loose balls and running the floor. Pretty good shot-blocker. Just needs to get stronger and continue to refine his offensive game.
