Toronto Raptors 2011-2012 Players Grades: Ben Uzoh
When the Raptors declared point guard Jerryd Bayless out for the rest of the season on March 27, a roster spot opened up with a gaping hole at point guard.
The Raptors took a shot on the best d-league point guard available: Ben Uzoh. Uzoh played 16 games with the Raptors, averaging a career high 4.8 points and 3.7 assists in 22 minutes.
Uzoh capped off his solid stint with a triple double of 12 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds.
He is a solid defender, is quick, and an above average rebounder for a point guard.
While Uzoh isn’t going to ever be a starting calibre point guard, his late surge certainly warrants a roster spot next year as the 3rd point guard off the bench.
Grade: B
Every Tuesday a new player will be graded, so make sure to check back for more updates.
