"The team said goodbye to big man Lacey James and first-round G League Draft choice JP Pegues, while Jared Rhoden opted to sign with EuroLeague squad Paris. The latter played in 26 games for Mississauga's squad last year, including 17 starts, and averaged 19.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 50.7 per cent from the field, 39.3 per cent from distance (5.4 attempts), and 64.8 per cent from the line."
"The 26-year-old was also on a two-way contract last season, competing in 10 games for the big club and putting up 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. With his on-ball skill, experience, and strength, Rhoden certainly would have been one of the best players on the team, if not in the league. The 905 still owns the rights to the 6-foot-5, 210-pound guard."
Raptors 905 finalized their roster ahead of the Nov. 7 opener against the College Park Skyhawks, cutting big man Lacey James and first-round G League Draft choice JP Pegues. Jared Rhoden signed with EuroLeague club Paris after averaging 19.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 26 games for Mississauga, and appearing in 10 NBA games on a two-way contract. The 905 retain Rhoden's G League rights. James averaged 4.6 points and 6.5 rebounds in 11 games after joining through the G League player pool. Pegues, a 22nd overall pick, was released amid a deep guard rotation despite strong Furman and Auburn production.
