TORONTO — Years before Jonathan Mogbo was drafted by the Toronto Raptors, he got used to stopping and posing for photos with local fans.
"I didn't know if I should take the picture and was like, 'bro, take the picture' so I'm like 'all right' and he tried to step out of the picture and I was like, 'No, you gotta come in and you take the picture,'" said Mogbo in an introductory news conference on Friday, a day after he was drafted 31st overall by the Raptors."Then every time when I come back it always happens at least one-time.
"I've gotten a lot of messages. Read the comments. The fan base is already insane," said Walter during his first-ever visit to Canada."Just knowing that it feels like a whole country behind me.Mogbo averaged 14.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists a game as a centre for the University of San Francisco. He had a 63.6 field-goal percentage with the Dons and didn't make either of his two three-point attempts.
Walter averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists as a freshman guard for the Baylor Bears last season. He said that he's a better shot-creator than people give him credit for.
