"Leadership tends to be an undefined skill. In the world of sports, where most skills are measurable - and with increased variety and complexity that can be quantified - leadership is comparatively ambiguous. It's equally difficult to determine what makes someone a good 'leader.' But no matter what your definition is, Jamal Shead has become one for the Toronto Raptors."
"After a rookie season in which he received ample opportunity and playing time, averaging seven points and four assists in just under 20 minutes per night, his role is likely to change - particularly because of the presence of Brandon Ingram and a hopefully healthy Immanuel Quickley. Not only are there more mouths to feed, but there are more ballhandlers on the roster. That puts Shead in a precarious position."
Leadership is relatively undefined compared with measurable sports skills. Jamal Shead has emerged as a leader for the Toronto Raptors, with Darko Rajakovic expecting a significant jump in his second year. Shead averaged seven points and four assists in about 20 minutes per game as a rookie. The arrival of Brandon Ingram and a hopefully healthy Immanuel Quickley creates more ballhandlers and a likely role shift, putting Shead in a precarious position. The Raptors expect him to lead the bench with pace, heady playmaking, and on-ball defensive tenacity, requiring greater production in less playing time. He worked out with Alex Caruso in the offseason, focusing on changing pace and defensive techniques.
