The Raptors are doing things right at NBA Summer League

Both Dalano and Brooks will be competing for a roster spot in training camp and used their time in Vegas to show why they’d be a good fit for next season’s Raptors team. Brooks, even when his shooting accuracy slipped, kept up a steady defensive pressure and unflappable handle, proving himself a difference maker in pace.

“As a player, I love the game, getting a lot of reps. Going down [to 905] and playing a different role, being able to have the ball, and then when I’m playing with the Raptors having a whole different role being an energy guy,” Banton said prior to the Raptors first game in Vegas. “Coming into this Summer League trying to be a vocal leader and assert myself with the team, with the guys, and assert myself into a whole different role. So I feel like having that under my belt is good.

Wilson is a worthwhile prospect for the Raptors, who are so loaded on young players that guaranteeing a contract like his could be a smart move in adding some hard-fought experience. He’s versatile on both ends of the floor, his length and size fit the bill of Masai Ujiri’s vision for the team, and he’s persistently positive.

Wilson took the knocks from Toronto’s loss to Chicago and came out swinging in the Raptors' third game against the Jazz, putting up 22 points and nine rebounds. It was a necessary cushion that helped the team withstand Utah’s 4th quarter run and attempted comeback. He was +12 on the floor, second only to Harper Jr. , intuitively in spots to lead the team in scoring at a 58 percent field goal percentage.
