Jamison Battle appears to have set himself apart. Just nine minutes into Tuesday’s preseason game, Toronto Raptors coach Darko Rajaković turned to his bench and subbed in Battle.
Jamison Battle is the latest addition to the Toronto Raptors as he was signed to an Exhibit 10 contract. The former Ohio State Buckeye is currently on Toronto’s Summer League roster.
Jamison Battle looks like an NBA shooter. He's 6-foot-7 with a picture-perfect three-point stroke. He converted 43.3% of his three-pointers as a senior at Ohio State last year and hasn't missed a beat in Summer League for the Toronto Raptors.
Months after Toronto-born artist Drake performed in Columbus, the city will be welcoming a Buckeye of their own. The Toronto Raptors signed former Ohio State forward Jamison Battle to an Exhibit 10 NBA deal Tuesday, as reported by Sportsnet's Blake Murphy.
