He is looking absolutely fantastic. He’s a double double threat every game. He has found his three point shot again.
What a good signing for the Raptors

He’s genuinely been through 8 games, the best free agent signing we’ve had in like 15+ years.
He took our entire team’s 3pt shooting with him
He’s awesome and still underrated. And he never quits. I wish we would have kept him though I have reasonable hope that Vincent will start shine and fill that role.
He hasn’t been shy about the fact that he signed with us to play for Darko again and it’s easy to see why, he seems to love his system/style of coaching.
He’ll probably cool off from 3 (he’s shooting 40% right now despite being a career 33.8% shooter and sub 35% each of the past 4 seasons), but he is generally underrated. If you can live with his shooting inconsistency, he’s fast as hell still which can put a lot of pressure on an opposing defense. He’s also a really good point of attack defender.
Letting him walk was one of the reasons I was less bullish on the Lakers offseason than most. Vincent is likely a downgrade (albeit a cleaner fit most likely).
Revitalized? He was awesome for the Lakers last year.
paying Gabe Vincent instead of Dennis is looking like a massive blunder
