Synopsis: In my latest for The Athletic, I explained how a G League roster gets assembled, who makes up this year’s Raptors 905, the different player and rights types involved, and more.

No, a third straight finals appearance isn’t a fair bar, but they’ve managed to put together a loaded roster on paper that, barring call-ups or injury, should have them competing for the top of the Eastern Conference once again.
Let’s take a look at how the roster is assembled and the different contract and player types in the mix on a G League team.
