Yuta is getting some preseason action with the raptors - drills a 3 around 6:20 mark.

Thanks for the links Brod.  At the second link, there’s a Yuta highlight video from the game. My favorite part is when he has the skip pass assist to Flynn for a three because he makes the case and just runs back on defense knowing it’s going in before the shot even leaves Flynn’s fingers.  Reminded me of the reaction to Matt Hart’s deep three in the NIT final when ML knew it was in as soon as her shot it.

It is great, as he had to beat out several others for the spot, though wish he had a full contract.
Know or care little about the NBA, outside of Yuta. But I tried to read up on 2-way contracts this year a bit.
Looks different this year. A flat salary of nearly $450,000 ($449,000 and change).
And there was an Exhibit 10 bonus of up to $50,000 for playing with the G-League affiliate. But that might be subsumed by his 2-way deal--or become a guaranteed salary. Someone might know more about this, if it matters.
   More important, it looks like he can play in up to 50 NBA games. 
Not sure if that's likely, but perhaps Toronto will have a need. Yuta has shown his worth in preseason and
if he is on from 3, along with his other skills--including the ability to play any position on the court, he can be a valuable resource
 Kind of good and bad. Less pressure on them to convert to a full contract if he does well--and presumably, he can't sign with anyone else. Contract is way less than NBA minimum if his 2 years of experience are counted.
But a quite nice salary for the G-League time and a good chance to get more more NBA experience if Raptors use him.

If I'm interpreting the Google translation correctly, it looks like his Raptors teammates were saying that they all wanted him on the team.

500K??! I'll see you losers at the track tomorrow 6am sharp

I'd bet a niickel Yuta sees some NBA miinutes with COVID making it's rounds

Yuta got some minutes off the bench tonight in the Raptors loss to Golden State:

9 Minutes
1-3 from the Field
0-3 from 3
2 defensive rebounds
1 assist
2 blocks
2 TOs
2 Fouls

Nice to see Yuta getting some more playing time. 2 blocks in 9 minutes is very nice to see including this block on Curry:

MG, thank you for posting these links. I enjoyed reading about Yuta.  I still remember how hard he worked every second he was on the court for GW.  It seems as if he's doing the same thing in the NBA and it's working!  I would say my favorite players in all sports are/were the hardest working players, as opposed to the most talented players (although the true greats are both skill and exceptionally hard working, IMO).

I am interested in knowing who everyone here thinks are the all-time 5 hardest working GW players (for each position).  Would anyone have an opinion on that?

I would of course have to say Yuta would be included on that list as a SF. 
And maybe for Point Guard Shawnta Rodgers, SG I don't know, PF, Mike Hall and C maybe Mike Brown who played with Shawta.  Does anyone else have an opinion?
