I?m surprised to see Remon van de Hare on their Summer League Roster... everybody was saying he?s a stiff who will never play in the NBA... but by including him on their roster the Raptors seem to be pretty serious about him... He will see some playing time I think, because he?s by far the tallest player on their team... I hope he will surprise some people!
