Jamison Battle emerged as an older, undrafted 2024 prospect who provided offensive spark for the Toronto Raptors with elite three-point shooting. He averaged 7.1 points, 42.9% overall shooting, 40.5% from three, 88.9% from the free-throw line, and 2.7 rebounds per game. Battle attempted 4.4 three-pointers per game, establishing himself as the draft class leader in three-point percentage. The Raptors' roster gained depth and versatility, increasing competition for minutes. Collin Murray-Boyles' Summer League defense and versatility add pressure on rotation spots. Coach Darko Rajakovic emphasized that players must prove they are worth minutes and stay ready.
Jamison Battle deserves all the praise he can get. The Raptors took a chance on him as an older, undrafted prospect from the 2024 class, and when Toronto needed an offensive spark, Battle proved he was more than capable of knocking down the three. Battle finished his rookie campaign averaging solid stats: 7.1 points on 42.9% shooting, a stellar 40.5% from three, 88.9% from the free-throw line, and 2.7 rebounds.
Battle is not quite the do-it-all forward like his Raptors rookie teammate Jonathan Mogbo, but as I mentioned earlier, Battle's ability to shoot from beyond the arc became his calling card (attempting 4.4 three-point shots per game in his rookie year). In fact, I even wrote during the season that Battle cemented himself as the draft class leader in three-point percentage, which, despite the perceived weak talent pool, is an undeniable distinction he should hold proudly.
