The Toronto Raptors went 4-1 in the win/loss column during Summer League play, looking extremely dominant defensively. While Summer League play is not comparable to the grind that the actual NBA is, there are nuggets of wisdom that can be gleaned from these competitions, especially as it relates to Precious Achiuwa.

It’s obvious from the five games in Las Vegas that Achiuwa has tons of potential. When Achiuwa returned from the Tokyo Olympics with team Nigeria, his first Summer League appearance for Toronto resulted in a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds.
