Rebuilding Toronto Raptors excited about young guards Davion Mitchell, Jamal Shead, Ja’Kobe Walter
Any team facing the Toronto Raptors’ second unit this season can expect a rough ride as soon as they approach the three-point arc.
Ja’Kobe Walter – who can play the one or two-guard – was taken 19th overall in this summer’s NBA Draft and Jamal Shead was taken 45th overall using a pick acquired from the Kings as part of the Mitchell deal. The 22-year-old Shead, who averaged 12.9 points, 6.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game in his fourth U.S. collegiate season at Houston, said it’s “pretty exciting” when he can disrupt another team’s offence.
All-star forward Scottie Barnes was scheduled to play against the Wizards on Friday for his first in-game action since March 1, said that the pressure Mitchell and Shead bring to the ball would make his job easier as a weakside defender. His career numbers improve considerably when looked at per 100 possessions: 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals.
