Young Raptors center's path to recognition can finally kick into overdrive
"Now, that free throw percentage is a little shaky, and a three-point shot is basically non-existent for Chomche as it currently stands, but those are by no means anything to lose sleep over, especially right now for such a young player still finding his footing in basketball. But that defensive potential in Chomche, you simply cannot deny it. Unfortunately for Chomche, his rookie year was cut short by an untimely MCL tear in his right knee back in February."
"And just this past July at Summer League, where Chomche finally suited up again for the Raptors, he provided fans with an intriguing sneak peek of his potential. That one play of Chomche blocking a shot, sprinting past half-court with the ball, and then finding Collin Murray-Boyles with a wraparound pass - which he finished with an emphatic dunk - was like a smorgasbord, a tasting platter of what Chomche can do even this early in his career."
Ulrich Chomche is a 19-year-old Cameroon native and raw NBA prospect who played sparingly as a rookie for the Toronto Raptors and more in the Raptors 905 G League. G League production included 8.0 points on 55.8% shooting, 47.4% from the free-throw line, 8.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 3.1 blocks per game, highlighting defensive impact. The three-point shot is currently non-existent and free throws are shaky, but defensive potential and athleticism stand out. An MCL tear in February interrupted his rookie season and limited exposure. A Summer League highlight displayed his playmaking and transition threat, indicating clear developmental upside.
