More on this storyline
Toronto has made clear to all inquiring parties that Barnes stands as the Raptors’ franchise focal point, sources said. Any deal with Toronto could include recent first-round selection Gradey Dick, sources said, just like then-rookie wing Ochai Agbaji and then-rookie center Walker Kessler both functioning as additional draft compensation in Utah’s returns for Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, respectively, last offseason. -via Yahoo!

Gradey Dick worked on his defence, rebounding and transition offence alongside kids at the Raptors Basketball Academy at Humber College on Friday. It was his first community event since the Raptors made Dick their first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft in June. -via SportsNet / July 29, 2023
Fred VanVleet, who played his college hoops at Wichita State, was a player that Dick remembered fondly as a kid, having led the Shockers to an undefeated regular season and a Final Four appearance in 2014 and four straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 2013-2016. The team visited Dick’s school. “With my school I remember, Wichita State when Fred [VanVleet] was there,” Dick said. “I remember kind of seeing him for the first time, that team, Ron Baker. Wichita State was a really good team. I remember that really well.” -via SportsNet / July 29, 2023
