Looking ahead to the 2026-27 season, the Toronto Raptors' roster has two major holes. The obvious one is the center position, and the less obvious one is the wing position. When looking at the Raptors wing depth outside of their starters, RJ Barrett and Kawhi Leonard, the only true wing on the roster is Jamison Battle.
That type of depth is scary and could mean Toronto looks to address their wing position in the summer league, with Seth Lundy having all the makings to be that player.
Lundy joins the Raptors summer league roster with one year of NBA experience coming with the Atlanta Hawks last season. The numbers from his nine games there aren’t worth presenting, as he saw limited minutes and never played in any high-leverage situations. Where fans should focus is on his collegiate and G League tape and stats.
Lundy spent four years at Penn State and had a very strong senior season, in which he averaged 14.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.4 stocks (steals plus blocks) per game while shooting 40 percent from three.
Lundy has always been a strong shooter, and that carried over to his play with Atlanta’s G League affiliate last season, where he posted a 41.9 percent three-point percentage on 8.8 attempts per game. He isn’t a high-usage player or someone you ask to be a creator. But he has all the tools to be a modern-day connective piece, and with a strong summer league, the Raptors may invest in him long-term to play that role.
Lundy is a massive sleeper
When you have a star-studded duo like Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard at the top of your food chain, and have both Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett behind him, the need for self-creators is low. Ideally, you want to surround this with guys who thrive moving off the ball and space out the floor, which is likely one of the main reasons Bobby Webster drafted Allen Graves in the first round.
Lundy fits that mold too, as at Penn, he almost exclusively played off the ball with the majority of his three-pointers coming off the catch. Giving a playmaker like Barnes another guy he can drive and kick to would really help open up Toronto’s offense next season.
Outside of being a serious off-ball threat and plus three-point shooter, Lundy's basketball IQ helps him thrive in areas of the game most 6-foot-6 forwards wouldn’t. Starting on the rebounding front, he does a great job reading shots off the rim and finding where he can sneak in and grab a rebound. On the defensive end, it’s the same story. Lundy doesn’t have the build or athletic tools to be an elite stopper, but he’s smart, which helps him create advantages and generate steals that lead to easy buckets for the other team.
Turnovers leading to offense the other way was the Raptors' bread and butter last year, and Lundy’s skill set would help him fit in with that playstyle seamlessly.
I wouldn’t call Lundy a true three-and-D wing, but he’s right on the line of being one, and when looking at Toronto’s needs, he checks the box as a floor spacer in a position of need. If Lundy has a strong Summer League, he could be a viable option for the Raptors on a two-way or standard contract as the front office looks to round out its 2026-27 roster.
