What Joe Wieskamp Being Waived Means for the Raptors
The Toronto Raptors have opened a roster spot to presumably sign Jeff Dowtin Jr. by waiving Joe Wieskamp on Monday
The Raptors have saved themselves $1.9 million for next season and opened up a roster spot to fill with someone else on a minimum contract.
In all likelihood, that open spot will go to Jeff Dowtin Jr., who currently remains unsigned, having been tendered a two-way qualifying offer earlier this summer. Throughout the end of last season, the Raptors made it clear they wanted to have Dowtin back with the team this year.
I’m finding it difficult to get invested in some of the newer and younger players when I’m still not convinced they’ll get the development time.
Will we really see the pick and roll back? Or will it just be more set ups to serve Siakam in iso play?
I liked the look of Dowtin in his limited minutes last year!
This offseason had a lot of promise, so I get not being excited yet. But I bet on opening night it'll feel different
