Raptors Sign Kevin Obanor to Training Camp Deal, per Report
The Toronto Raptors have begun filling out their training camp roster with another undrafted free agent signing this summer.
Kevin Obanor, a fifth-year senior out of Texas Tech, is the latest addition, joining the Raptors on an Exhibit 10 deal, according to Bryan Kalbrosky of USA Today. The deal is non-guaranteed and will allow Toronto to keep Obanor with the Raptors 905 for the season.
The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 14.4 points with 6.4 rebounds per game last season. He shot 49.2% from the floor as a senior and has a career three-point percentage of 38.1% on 3.6 attempts per game.
Obanor spent three seasons at Oral Roberts before transferring to Texas Tech in his fourth year. He was a member of the Golden Eagles’ 2021 team that advanced to the Sweet 16 after knocking off Ohio State and Florida, respectively.
Despite his 33.1% three-point stroke this past season, Obanor projects ideally as a 3-and-D wing who attempted almost half his shots behind the arc as a Red Raider.
Expect Obanor to compete for one of three two-way spots Toronto has this year. Fellow undrafted rookie Markquis Nowell has been inked to one of the two-ways with the remaining two up for grabs.
The Raptors have yet to announce their Summer League squad but Obanor will likely be a member of the team alongside Nowell and rookie first-round pick Gradey Dick.
