Tu Holloway, Ben Uzoh, and Terrell Stoglin compete for spots; Terrence Ross and Quincy Acy debut; Ed Davis on display
We attended 3 days and 2 Raptors games live. I think there is too much criticism that summer league is “a waste of time” and “you cannot learn anything”. Why? You can observe, among other things.
Summer League. Where Quincy Douby can fool you into thinking he’s a rotation player. After last year’s display in Vegas, one Quincy Douby had me convinced that he was ready to come in and play 10 minutes a game as a tweener guard.

Same starting lineup as yesterday and it’s 12-9 Pistons early with Quincy Douby once again trying to make an impact off the dribble. A couple drives leading to a couple fouls, he’s still doing the primary ball-handling for the Raptors. Ukic is the other guard and he’s basically passing it to Douby most of the …Continue Reading
