Delon is still a great talent his three point shot is coming along as long as he is healthy he has the potential to be an all star but it just shows you how great Toronto's bench is that he has been relegated in terms of conversation in addition to Miles who went off in the 4th last night against Brooklyn.


I dont know about an all star but he can definitely be a good back up...problem with him as well as a few other guys is the emergence of Van Vleet has stolen alot of there shine...

The fact that Van Vleet went undrafted after his college career at Wichita State showed just how dumb some NBA scouts are. Too much metrics and not enough basketball. Guys like him and TJ McConnell are in the league because they are out working guys with more "physical" talent. These guys make up for their lack of height and wingspan, with everything else.


A few teams had the chance to sign him before the Raptors but were only offering G League deals...Toronto was the only team to give him a training camp invitation...

that vanvleet/delon/siakim/poeltl development was amazing
Other teams should take notes, this might be the best bench in a decade


The benches ascension guarantees Stackhouse will get an NBA look somewhere...all these guys were G League players last year to some degree...

Siakam just needs that consistent jumper. I imagine come playoff time team will dare him to shoot. He is essentially energy/hustle/defense guy who gets his points on the fast break after a turnover. Come playoff time, the game slows down and becomes more half court that's where he really needs a consistent jumper.

This is one of the biggest myths yall keep believing in...

Tell Derozan not to go coast to coast and yam on nikkas
