The Toronto Raptors are off to a strong 2-1 start to Summer League play in Las Vegas, and the reason that 2-1 record isn’t 1-2 is Seth Lundy, who sealed the 94-93 win over Indiana with a massive block.

In the dying seconds of Monday’s game, Pacers big man Rienk Mast attempted a put-back, and Lundy used his massive 6-foot-10 wingspan to put the finishing touches on Indiana. Lundy’s big-time defensive highlight isn’t the only reason to highlight him, as over Toronto’s three summer league games, he’s been phenomenal.
In Vegas, Lundy is averaging 20.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 44 percent from three on over nine attempts per game. He’s also a plus-32 across the three games the Raptors played and was a plus-11 in Toronto’s one loss to the Celtics last Thrusday.
On top of the game-sealing block on Monday, Lundy also put up 22 points, one rebounds, and one assist while shooting 4-of-7 from three.
In the short time the Raptors have spent in Vegas, many fans have fallen in love with Lundy’s game, as he is of that 3-and-D mold that Toronto has been desperately missing off the bench. His connective play style has made many suggest he should be up for a training camp deal with the Dinos. While I agree, I’m also here to say that a training camp deal isn’t enough, and he should be given Toronto’s a standard roster spot.
Seth Lundy has made the Raptors’ decision for them
In today’s NBA, you can never have enough floor spacers, especially for a team like Toronto, which has been bottom-10 in three-point percentage over the last four seasons. With the Kawhi Leonard trade still expected to go through, the Raptors have a formidable top pair in him and Scottie Barnes, and they need players who can spread the floor and stretch the defense.
They already have a few players to do that between Jamison Battle, Ja’Kobe Walter, and Immanuel Quickley, but it still feels like they could use more catch-and-shoot aces.
This is a role perfectly suited for Lundy.
The immediate objection some may have to outright giving Lundy a standard deal following summer league is that guys have great runs in Vegas all the time and fail to replicate it. That’s a fair argument. But Toronto would be signing Lundy to be a shooter, and his resume over his pro and collegiate career suggests that skill isn’t going anywhere. In his lone G League season, Lundy shot 41.9 percent from three on 8.75 attempts per game, and over his four years at Penn State, Lundy was a career 36.8 percent three-point shooter.
That should be strong enough for Bobby Webster and the Raptors’ front office to buy that shooting can translate to regular-season games this upcoming season.
Lundy has had a tough road to this point in the NBA, dealing with ankle injuries that sidelined him from pro basketball entirely last season. So, for the Raptors, showing that commitment to him now would build the relationship that could benefit Toronto long-term and build loyalty from Lundy to the franchise.
Not many 6-foot-4 wings with a 6-foot-10 wingspan who shoot a 40-percent clip from three hit the open market, and the Raptors are staring at one. Seth Lundy’s play has made Toronto’s decision about his future an easy one.
