The entire G League is, of course, hoping this year is closer to what we’ve become accustomed to on the junior circuit. The 2019-20 season was cut short and the 2020-21 season was abbreviated and held in a bubble over a short window of time. The player with the most tenuous hold on a spot, open tryout addition Obadiah Noel, had an excellent camp to lock down the final roster spot. There are no surprises there, as that group, as all six would have had to knock off someone already pencilled in for a role before camp. The players cut were Tahj Eaddy, Blake Francis and Tristan Jarrett (draft picks), Akia Pruitt and Zena Edosomwan (open tryout players) and Trey McBridge (player pool addition).

Six players were cut afterward, getting the roster down to the required 10, plus the two Raptors on two-way contracts and any future Raptors assignments. The 905 wrapped up their pre-season Thursday with a final untelevised exhibition game. It’s expected that most of the 905 schedule will air on Canadian TV, with non-televised games available to stream.) Roster (Note: Broadcast plans are still being finalized as of this writing. 11 at Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga. What follows is a look at some of the key storylines to follow when the 905 get underway Nov. Instead, this year’s team is heavy on players who are unproven and, in a few cases, have played sparingly since 2019-20. The NBA Raptors prioritized partially guaranteed contracts at the back of their training camp roster, leaving fewer camp-to-905 transfers with valuable experience. That team was much older and more experienced than this year’s. Mutombo’s first turn as head coach last year showed how those two ideas can work together, with a number of players from the playoff-bound 905 earning NBA opportunities. Head coach Patrick Mutombo preaches a “just win” philosophy, believing that development through winning is the best way to develop winners. That is the longest in the G League and a veritable miracle given the annual (and sometimes daily) tumult of the league.Ĭontinuing the streak could be a real challenge for 2021-22. Depending on how you want to treat the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season – the 905 had won 11 of 14 to pull into a playoff spot at the time the season was cancelled – the 905 can claim to hold a five-year post-season streak. Even that year, they closed on an 18-9 stretch to turn a tough expansion start into the foundation of a successful program.
The 905 have only missed the playoffs once, in their inaugural 2015-16 season. The one constant since 2016-17, though, has been this: Raptors 905 are good. Rules change, roster situations are constantly in flux, NBA needs supersede developmental strategy and global pandemics require bubble seasons with only half a league participating.
Every year feels different in the G League.
