What to Watch For
- Ja'Kobe Walter has yet to really find his shooting stroke through three games. He's shooting just 11.1% from behind the arc and 25.9% from the floor. It's nothing to be too concerned about because Walter has a track record of being a high-level shooter, but Toronto will certainly be hoping he turns it around as the team wraps up Summer League.
- Ulrich Chomche looked solid last time out for Toronto as he continues to work on refining his game. The Raptors have been working on tweaking his pick-and-roll coverage to make him a little less aggressive in ball screens. Considering his size as a 6-foot-10 big man with pretty quick feet, Chomche shouldn't have to be so aggressive. Toronto wants him to trust his abilities a little more and drop back in pick-and-roll coverage.
- Jamal Shead has been a great defensive addition for Toronto at Summer League but it's the other side of the ball the Raptors will be keeping an eye on for the 21-year-old point guard. He's struggled at times passing out of the pick-and-roll due to his lack of size and he's been reluctant to shoot too many three-pointers. He's been effective as a three-point shooter on limited attempts so far and it's worth seeing if he can do more in a bigger role over the next two games.
Injury Reports
Toronto was without Gradey Dick and Jonathan Mogbo on Wednesday. Their status for Friday will be updates pregame.
