Headline performer
The 23-year-old forward Lundy Seth has given Toronto an early Las Vegas Summer League shooting story, totalling 39 points, eight made threes, 11 rebounds and two assists in 55:08 across the Raptors' first two games.Source Source
Those outings ended in an 83-80 overtime loss to Boston and a 102-89 win over Houston, leaving Toronto 1-1 after the opening split.Source Source
Lundy Seth also opened both games as a starter, and his minutes rose from 26:26 to 28:42, which gives the numbers more substance than a brief bench cameo in a tiny sample.Source
Stat lines from MCP
In the opener against the Celtics, Lundy Seth scored 16 points with six rebounds, one assist and two made threes in 26:26, and he was still one of four Raptors in double figures despite the overtime defeat.Source Source
His second game was louder: 23 points, five rebounds, one assist and six made threes in 28:42 as Toronto beat Houston by 13 points.Source Source
Across the two contests, he has launched 20 threes and made eight of them, while also converting all five of his free throws, so the early profile is unmistakably that of a high-volume perimeter shooter.Source
Toronto's wider shot diet has leaned the same way, with 74 three-point attempts and 22 makes in the first two games, and Lundy Seth alone accounts for more than a third of those makes.Source Source
The Boston game showed how narrow the margins can be in this format, because Toronto lost 83-80 after overtime even while posting 52 rebounds and 12 blocks as a team.Source Source
The Houston game looked cleaner offensively, with Toronto hitting 13 threes at 42 per cent, adding 22 assists and 11 steals, and Lundy Seth's six triples were nearly half of the team total.Source Source
Taken together, Toronto's first two games have been decided by a combined 10 points, so a consistent shooting source is easy to spot this early.Source Source
The Read
That makes Lundy Seth's opening burst notable beyond a single box score, because his shooting has travelled across two very different game scripts: a low-scoring overtime loss and a 102-point win.Source Source
His scoring climbed from 16 to 23 from one night to the next, and his made-threes line jumped from two to six, which is exactly the kind of quick trend that stands out this early in the schedule.Source Source
Toronto sits 12th in the standings at 1-1, with 182 points scored and 172 conceded through two games.Source
In the published box scores, no Raptor has matched Lundy Seth's eight made threes across the first two games, which is why his start reads less like a one-off hot quarter and more like an early team theme.Source
There are only two completed Toronto games in the feed so far, but the available evidence is straightforward: the Raptors have split their opening pair, and Lundy Seth has been their most productive long-range shooter in both volume and makes.Source Source Source
The Raptors' next listed Summer League game is against Indiana on 13 July, giving this opening run a third data point almost immediately.Source
