Summer League Primer I 905 Stars Continue their Path to the 6ix

Raptors 905 may have had a disappointing end to their season, but that didn’t stop a number of players from having very interesting years. Shevon Thompson led the G-League in defensive rating off the bench, while Fuquan Edwin blossomed as a defensive pest and catch-and-shoot option from three.
