Question

Will Hassan Adams get playing time in Toronto?

Answer 1

Yes, Toronto is going to have a lean bench this year since they traded a few to get J.O.  He'll start at the bottom of the bench but as the season goes on, he'll see more minutes.

Answer 2

Hassan Adams is listed 6'4" in height and eligible to play Guard / Forward for the Raptors... If he were to play the SF role then he would have to play behind players like Moon, Kapono, and even Joey Graham and that would make up for way less court time since the team has lots of forwards to work with! However he was brought here to play the SG position for the team and Sam Mitchell is looking forward to his contribution behind Anthony Parker... The fact that Toronto doesn't have as many guards with TJ getting traded and Delfino signing a contract in Russia makes more playing room for Adams and this way he is expected to play often and get some minutes every night...

Raptors are still in pursuit of someone who can play both guard positions and take pressure off Jose and Parker but so far Hassan Adams is the only back-up and even if they sign someone new he will still play about 10-20 mins every night depending on his performance...!

Answer 3

He could likely be received some minutes, but with a physically bigger and more talented player in Joey Graham who has a similar game, plus the presence of Jason Kapono as a perimeter shooter becoming more important after the departure of Carlos Delfino, I doubt Adams would receive quality minutes.

Most importantly, Adams must prove what he can contribute to Raptors other than driving to the basket.
