Offensive setbacks can't diminish Jamal Shead's vital role for the Raptors
"Jamal Shead's last three outings for the Raptors haven't been the most successful shooting performances, as he has only made three of his last 20 shot attempts, which is a lowly 15 percent field goal percentage. On the season as a whole, Shead's numbers are 5.6 points per game on 36.5 percent shooting, 34.5 percent from three, along with 5.3 assists, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in an average of 19.0 minutes played off the bench."
"But as he showed in Toronto's most recent contest, a winning affair over Portland on December 2, the former Houston Cougar proved to be an integral part of the Raptors' push to victory. Shead set both a game-high and career-high with five steals, all in the first half. This ties for the most steals in a half by a bench player in franchise history, a record previously set by Raptors veteran CJ Miles on January 19, 2019."
