3:02pm: Just hours after signing him, the Raptors have waived Disu, according to Murphy (Twitter link). They now have 20 players under contract.
9:10am: The Raptors have signed free agent forward Dylan Disu to an Exhibit 10 contract, reports Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca (Twitter link).
Disu, 23, began his college career at Vanderbilt in 2019 before transferring to Texas in 2021. Knee surgery limited his effectiveness during his first year with the Longhorns, but he eventually became a crucial part of Texas’ lineup, averaging 15.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 25.8 minutes per game across 25 outings (20 starts) as a super-senior in 2023/24. He posted a shooting line of .465/.451/.812 last season.
After going undrafted in June, Disu joined the Raptors’ Summer League roster in July and saw action in three games in Las Vegas.
In all likelihood, the Raptors are planning on having Disu eventually join their G League team, the Raptors 905. His Exhibit 10 contract will make him eligible for a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he spends at least 60 days with Toronto’s affiliate. While Exhibit 10 deals can also be converted into two-way contracts prior to the season, the club doesn’t currently have a two-way spot available.
The Raptors now have a full 21-man roster, though that doesn’t necessarily mean the team won’t make additional moves between now and the start of training camp next Tuesday.
