CMB showcased outstanding performance in the Summer League, leading the Raptors team in points, rebounds, and steals. His defensive presence was notable, efficiently disrupting opposing players and contributing significantly to possessions after rebounds. Offensively, he received early attention, executing plays that highlighted his high-level decision-making skills. In contrast, Brandon Ingram emerged as the premier offensive creator for Toronto, matching similar play styles to Siakam. While Barnes showed improvements, he remains unprepared to spearhead the half-court offense effectively, and Quickley’s role has been limited.
By the time the first half had wrapped up, CMB was leading the Raptors in points, rebounds, steals, and should've been in assists if not for shoddy shot-making by the roster around him.
Offensively though, they looked for him early. They tried to short the pick n’ roll to him early on... He made high level reads out of handoff sequences, often times out-foxing the defense.
