Jonathan Mogbo logged 24 minutes off the bench in Friday’s win over the 76ers, accounting for 12 points (3-of-8 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three blocked shots.
Mogbo didn’t have much chance to contribute to Wednesday’s loss to Cleveland, playing 11 minutes off the bench. The rookie made quite the statement on Friday, recording a full stat line that included nine rebounds, two steals, and three blocks. Toronto certainly isn’t going to punt on the season after two games, but Mogbo has a fantasy-friendly game that can be valuable after the trade deadline. However, Friday’s effort showed that he may be capable of adding value a lot sooner. Keep an eye on Mogbo, as his role may change once RJ Barrett (shoulder) returns.
