Roster Breakdown

  • Jalen Harris and Watanabe hold the two designated slots for players on two-way contracts while the team's 2020 first-round pick in Flynn is with Raptors 905 on assignment. Each of the three has seen action with the NBA's Raptors early on in the season.
  • Hernandez was selected with the No. 59 overall pick by the Raptors in 2019. He appeared in four games with Toronto and nine games with Raptors 905 during his rookie campaign.
  • Stauskas, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, is a member of Raptors 905 by virtue of the NBA Vet Exemption, largely aided by his being a native of Mississauga, ON, where the team plays its home games in normal years.
  • Ellenson, a first-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, appeared in 16 games with Raptors 905 in 2019-20 and was a Toronto Raptors training camp invite in 2020 along with Alizé Johnson, who was one of the team's final roster cuts.
  • Raptors 905 acquired Kevon Harris, a rookie from Stephen F. Austin, with the 11th overall pick in this year's G League Draft. He averaged 17.5 points and 5.7 rebounds during his senior campaign at SFA.
  • Payton, the son of Hall of Famer Gary Payton, was acquired by Raptors 905 with the 15th overall pick in the most recent G League Draft. At 28, Payton is the eldest member of the roster and has appeared in 61 NBA games over the course of his career.
  • Tyree, a rookie combo guard, shared a backcourt with current Toronto Raptor Terence Davis II while at the University of Mississippi.
