Gradey Dick is willing to do whatever the Toronto Raptors need of him. Dick saw big minutes for a rookie last season as the Raptors were decimated by injuries through March and April.
Dick saw big minutes for a rookie last season as the Raptors were decimated by injuries through March and April. Entering his sophomore NBA campaign, Dick doesn't intend to lobby head coach Darko Rajakovic or anyone else for a starting role — he wants to earn his spot.
Toronto selected Dick 13th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft after one year with the Kansas Jayhawks. The swingman slotted in behind Gary Trent Jr. in the Raptors depth chart at shooting guard to start the 2023-24 season. "It's a different feeling having a season under your belt, not having to worry about going to different places when we first got to camp, and being late and just all that kind of stress of being a rookie," he said.
Rajakovic noted at Raptors training camp in Montreal last week that Dick had packed 15 pounds on his six-foot-seven frame in the off-season. The coach, also entering his second year, said he expects Dick to defend multiple positions and be more physical.
