Report: Raptors sign Jarrod Uthoff to partially guaranteed 2-year deal | Raptors RepublicOn offense, he has great size for the three-spot or great range for the four, and he has a pretty enough jumper that he could be a plus as a low-usage option.As his role grew at Iowa this year, he also got to work more as a cutter and creating for himself, showing potential to expand his game beyond a catch-and-shoot threat at the NBA level.His turnover rate was also exceptionally low for someone using as many possessions as he did, though again, it's the 3-point stroke that stands out here, because his handle isn't terrific and he's not exceptionally quick.A First-Team All-Big Ten player and consensus Second-Team All-American, Uthoff also brings the type of off-court maturity the Raptors appreciate (he was the Academic All-American of the Year and a member of the Big Ten All-Defensive team, too).

Cap Sheet Update: DeRozan specifics, VanVleet guarantee, and a 2017 look-ahead | Raptors RepublicReports varied on the exact numbers of DeMar DeRozan's new five-year deal, ranging from $137.5M (Michael Grange of Sportsnet and Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star) to $139M (some U.S. outlets) to $145M (most U.S. outlets).The assumption I was working on was that $137.5M was the base, $139M included "likely" incentives (which count against the cap), and $145M included "unlikely" incentives (which only count for luxury tax, not salary cap purposes).Well, according to Eric Pincus of Basketball Insiders (the authority on such things), DeRozan's cap hit is only $137.5M.It's still possible that incentives could push it higher, but for our purposes, we're now going to go with $137.5M for the cap rather than $139M.
