BURNABY, B.C. – Gradey Dick is doing his best to take it all in.
The Raptors’ first round pick, 13th overall, from the 2023 draft is taking part in his first pre-season camp as an NBA player in Burnaby, B.C. and looking to learn.
“The change has been great for me personally,” Dick said about his brief time at training camp.
His goal is pretty simple, he added.
“Being that sponge, soaking up that knowledge. Being someone willing to learn everything.”
Dick was one-and-done after his freshman year at the University of Kansas, where he averaged 14.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
He started all 36 games for the Jayhawks while shooting better than 40 per cent from three-point range. He made 83 three-pointers, a program record for a freshman.
There has been a learning curve when it comes to evolving from what the Wichita-born forward was used to in college to the pro game.
