The Toronto Raptors may have found a Summer League name worth watching closely in Seth Lundy, and it comes at a time when the roster’s wing depth looks thin in exactly the wrong place.
Looking toward the 2026-27 season, Toronto’s most obvious gap is at center, but the wing spot is a quieter problem that could matter just as much. Beyond the starters, RJ Barrett and Kawhi Leonard, the only true wing on the roster is Jamison Battle. That leaves the Raptors with a depth chart that feels awfully fragile, and it’s the kind of opening a player like Lundy can try to grab.
Lundy arrives with one year of NBA experience from his time with the Atlanta Hawks last season, though his nine games there don’t tell much of a story. He played limited minutes and never got into anything close to high-leverage action. The better picture comes from his college and G League work, where his shooting and off-ball game stood out.
At Penn State, Lundy spent four seasons and closed with a strong senior year, averaging 14.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.4 stocks (steals plus blocks) per game while shooting 40 percent from three. That shooting translated to Atlanta’s G League affiliate, where he hit 41.9 percent of his threes on 8.8 attempts per game.
He’s not the kind of player you hand the ball to and ask to create. That’s not his lane. But he does look like the sort of modern connector who can fit around higher-usage talent, and if he turns heads in Summer League, Toronto could decide he’s worth a longer look.
That matters because the Raptors already have a star-driven core with Scottie Barnes and Kawhi Leonard at the top, plus Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett behind them. In that kind of setup, the priority shifts toward players who can move without the ball, punish help defense, and keep the floor spaced. That’s part of why Bobby Webster drafted Allen Graves in the first round, and it’s also why Lundy makes sense as a possible fit.
At Penn State, Lundy lived mostly off the ball, with most of his threes coming off the catch. That kind of profile gives Barnes another outlet when defenses collapse, and it could make Toronto’s offense easier to sort through next season.
There’s more to Lundy than just shooting, too. His basketball IQ shows up in places that don’t always jump off the page for a 6-foot-6 forward.
He’s a smart rebounder who reads the ball well off the rim and finds ways to slip in for boards. Defensively, he isn’t built or explosive enough to project as an elite stopper, but his instincts help him create steals and turn them into easy offense.
That last part fits neatly with what Toronto already did well last year. The Raptors made turnovers into offense the other way a big part of their identity, and Lundy’s game would slide into that approach without much friction.
He’s not quite a full three-and-D wing, but he’s close enough to the line that the label isn’t far off. For a team with a clear need on the wing, that makes him a real Summer League sleeper. If he performs well, Lundy could work his way into consideration for a two-way or standard contract as Toronto keeps shaping its 2026-27 roster.

Raptors Offseason Just Created A Scottie Barnes Problem Fans Know Too Well
Toronto spent the offseason reshaping its roster in a way that should help in the short term, but it also created the kind of crowded frontcourt picture that can make life tricky for Scottie Barnes. The additions of Allen Graves, Jaden Bradley and Kyle Anderson give the Raptors more size, more options and more flexibility, which is usually a good problem to have when a team is trying to climb back into contention.
Scottie Barnes is still the centerpiece, but the new mix around him means every rotation spot is under a little more pressure than before. With Toronto leaning into a deeper, more competitive roster, the challenge now is figuring out which pieces fit cleanly and which ones get squeezed as the season unfolds. [Read more 🡒]
NBA Just Gave Pacers Fans Another Reason To Question The League
The NBAs latest enforcement push has put a familiar sore spot back in the spotlight, and it is one that Raptors fans know well from years of watching the league police team behavior unevenly. Indiana and Utah were both fined under the Player Participation Policy, with the Pacers and Jazz each cited for actions the league said crossed the line into conduct detrimental to the league, a reminder that the rules around rest and availability can still feel murky even when the penalties are not.
For Toronto, the broader issue is less about one specific fine than the pattern it reinforces. The league has long invited scrutiny whenever it decides to draw a hard line on roster management, and the conversation inevitably circles back to how selectively those lines seem to be enforced across markets and situations. The Pacers case adds another example to that pile, and it leaves plenty of room for the same old question about whether the NBA is applying the standard evenly. [Read more 🡒]
Collin Murray-Boyles Could Change Everything For The Raptors Frontcourt
The Raptors have spent the offseason trying to patch a frontcourt that lost one of its better shooting options when Sandro Mamukelashvili departed, and that makes the development of Collin Murray-Boyles especially important. Toronto already added Allen Graves, whose college 3-point numbers were encouraging, but the bigger swing for this group is whether Murray-Boyles can stretch his game enough to fit into a more modern, flexible rotation.
Coaches sound optimistic that he can keep expanding his range while bringing the versatility that already earned trust in high-leverage moments. If that progress shows up, it could change how Toronto builds around its bigs, especially with the frontcourt minutes likely to be shaped by both development and availability as the season unfolds.
