4:00pm: The Raptors have officially signed Dowtin to a two-way contract, the team confirmed in a press release.
12:46pm: Free agent guard Jeff Dowtin will sign a two-way contract with the Raptors, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Dowtin is coming off a strong Summer League performance with Toronto, averaging 16.0 PPG while shooting 57.1% from the field in four games in Las Vegas.
The 25-year-old signed with the Magic last September, then was claimed off waivers by the Warriors before the start of the season. He played four games for Golden State before being waived again, then signed 10-day contracts with Milwaukee and Orlando.
Ron Harper Jr. holds the Raptors’ other two-way contract, so both slots will be filled once Dowtin’s signing becomes official.
Balled out in the summer league!
Played hard in summer league last year for GS. Seemed to be involved in a lot. Still catching up on this year. Wondering about consistency with the defense, and the jumpshot b/c those were things I remember from last year
Nick Nurse won’t play him if he can’t D up his assignments
So he’ll either learn how to switch and guard multiple positions or he’ll be off the team very quickly
Although the highlights I’ve seen say he at least deserves a few mistakes before he’s cast off.
Stop Dowtin this man’s abilities.
