Dominic McGuire has hung out there as one of the few name free agents left on the list. McGuire was a reserve in Golden State last year, averaging just 17.6 minutes. He averaged just 7.3 points per 36 minutes, but also tagged close to 8 rebounds and 1.4 assists at that rate. Additionally, it was the first time in his career I’ve kept an eye on him and noticed a real difference being made defensively. Synergy Sports had him tagged at allowing just .71 in the post, and a ridiculous .585 points per possession in Isolation. It was a limited sample but he made a real difference.
And now he’ll be hopefully making that difference in Toronto. From Yahoo Sports:

McGuire should work well with coach Dwane Casey, and provide him with an option for a defense-first player where they have some depth issues. It’s a solid pick-up and likely on the cheap, a win for both sides.
