The article discusses the Toronto Raptors' strategy of scouting potential talent during the offseason, focusing on the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament as a platform for undrafted players. It emphasizes the story of Jahmyl Telfort, a Canadian player showcasing his skills despite not having a standout previous year. The piece notes the importance of these quiet periods for discovering players who might become key additions for the Raptors. Toronto aims to develop young talent, drawing comparisons to teams like the Pacers and Knicks.
Around this time last year, no Raptor fan knew of Jamison Battle. During this lull in the Raptors news cycle, it's important to remember that a talent like his gets unearthed.
This time around, 64 players hooped at Portsmouth, and here's seven of them: Jahmyl Telfort (Butler: Forward... 16 PPG, 4.7 RPG).
He struggled from downtown this game, shooting 1-for-7, but still poured in 11 points. Connecting on these types of shots can really up the team's morale.
He did the same thing in his second game as well, demonstrating an ability to adjust his strategy while remaining effective.
