Toronto Sun

Marcus Banks has quickly become Michael (Yogi) Stewart, minus the outgoing personality.

In the past three seasons, Banks has played roughly 1,280 combined minutes.

Based on his salary, Banks has earned approximately $9,375 US a minute.

There is no room nor is there any defined role on the Raptors roster for Banks and no recent history to suggest that Banks even has a game.

Do you know what the most annoying thing in the world is? It’s Toronto Raptors fans when talking about Bryan Colangelo. By miles. There is nothing more annoying in the world than this. Nothing. Not a sausage. Not even scrotal crabs or Ron Artest’s Twitter account are more potently insufferable than listening to Raptors fans drool on about Colangelo as being some kind of flawless freak of genius, who transcends general managerial conventions to achieve an unparalleled plateau of superlativityness. They make me advocate chemical warfare. It’s intolerable.

Jack has proven unusually durable, missing only 6 games in 4 seasons including an off season ankle surgery in May 2006.  He’s also been able to log a lot of minutes, averaging 28.6 minutes per game thus far in his career.  Something Raptor fans should be able to appreciate after last year’s injury fest.

Jarrett had a nice, if unspectacular start to his NBA career in Portland averaging 6.7 points, 2 boards, 2.8 assists and 0.5 steals in 20 minutes.  But he led his team in games played and became their first rookie to play over 1,500 minutes in a decade.
