"Jamal Shead had himself a night against Washington Wizards on November 21. Shead suited up for just over 16 minutes of action, where he recorded seven points on 2-for-2 shooting from beyond the arc, a whopping ten assists, one steal, and finishing with a +19 plus/minus for the squad. Those ten assists actually led the Raptors team that night in that category, and Shead's place as the team's second leader in assists behind Immanuel Quickley continues to hold true."
"Surprisingly, it marked only Shead's third career game with double-digit assists, though I feel like he's done it much more often given his role as a steady floor general. On that note of Shead's playmaking, he ranks second among all sophomores with 86 total assists, behind reigning Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, who has 98 total assists, at the time of writing."
"I would say he's a straightforward guy and I love that. I don't like people who kinda, you know, not tell you in your face how they feel, and sometimes when I mess up, he comes to me and he tells me like "Come on, do this, do that." I like that type of guys who kind of come to you and motivate you to be better ..."
