"Although Hepburn has only appeared in two NBA games for the franchise, he's been a mainstay for the 905 this season. In 18 games (all starts), he's averaged 12.4 points, 8.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals. His strong play on both ends of the floor - third in the G League for assists and steals per game - helped the Raptors 905 get off to a historic 19-0 start as part of earning the No. 1 seed in the Tip-off Tournament"
"In that span, the 905's defensive rating has dropped from 101.5 (first in the G League through the Tip-Off Tournament and regular season) to 107.0 (sixth). Their assist percentage has seen a similar dip, dropping from ninth to 13th. The Hepburn-less 905 have managed to eke out some wins by cobbling together offence in spurts, like in their win against the Noblesville Boom on Tuesday, but they've also suffered a loss to the San Diego Clippers when they gave up 31 points on 20 turnovers."
Chucky Hepburn underwent successful surgery to repair a tear in the meniscus of his right knee and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. The two-way guard has been a mainstay for the Raptors 905, averaging 12.4 points, 8.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 18 starts. Hepburn ranks third in the G League in assists and steals per game and helped the team start 19-0, earning the No. 1 seed in the Tip-off Tournament. Since his injury the 905 have gone 2-1, but defensive rating has worsened from 101.5 to 107.0 and assist percentage has slipped from ninth to 13th, with uneven offense and a turnover-heavy loss to San Diego.
