The Toronto Raptors have officially signed Jared Rhoden, adding him to their roster.
Jared Rhoden’s Background
Rhoden recently played for the Detroit Pistons and has both NBA and G League experience. Last season, he participated in 17 games with the Pistons, averaging 4.9 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
His shooting stats were solid, hitting 50% of his field goals and nearly 39% from three-point range. This shows he can be a valuable player for the Raptors.

The Details of His Contract
Blake Murphy from Sportsnet explained that Rhodenโs contract is an Exhibit 10 deal. This type of contract is like an invite to training camp and offers a chance to secure a spot on the main roster or get a two-way contract.
If waived but then joins Raptors 905, thereโs also a financial bonus involvedโa common route for players moving between NBA and G League teams.
Rhoden’s Professional Journey
Starting with the Pistons, Rhoden has spent parts of two seasons in professional basketball. His career averages are modest at 4.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game over 31 NBA appearances but show promise with shooting percentages of around 45% from the field and over 33% from three-point land.
In the G League last year, he was impressive: scoring over twenty-one points per game along with strong rebounding (6.5), assists (3), and steals (1.4). His shooting was efficient tooโalmost forty-five percent overallโand nearly forty percent from beyond the arc!
Fans think this could be a great move for our team!
Raptors’ Strategy Moving Forward
The Raptors are rebuilding after finishing twelfth in their conference last season with only twenty-five wins against fifty-seven lossesโmissing playoffs again! But they have young stars like Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett leading them forward.
Adding Rhoden fits their strategy of developing young talent who can grow alongside these standout players while providing depth as they aim to improve next season
The Impact on Training Camp
Rhoden brings versatility due to his dual experience in both leagues; hence he’ll be closely watched during training camp as coaches decide how best he fits into future plans whether through direct contribution or via development within Raptorsโ system including potential stints at Raptorsโ affiliate team if necessary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3_fsSxuMS8
