Grading the Toronto Raptors' sneaky yet effective two-way contract strategy
The Toronto Raptors actively used their Two-Way roster spots for the second straight season to achieve long-term and short-term goals. This is a big departure from the past few seasons when the team was much more patient to see if their Two-Way prospect would pan out (or not). Also, having a third Two-Way contract slot gave the team much more flexibility to evaluate prospects in different stages of their careers.
The Raptors had several names attached to their Two-Way spots this past season:
DJ Carton
Branden Carlson
Jamison Battle
Orlando Robinson
Jared Rhoden
AJ Lawson
Ulrich Chomche
It’s been a blur, I may have missed a name or two from that list.
