Raptors Sign Kevin Obanor to Training Camp Deal, per Report The Toronto Raptors have reportedly signed undrafted free agent Kevin Obanor from Texas Tech to a training camp contract
Ends season on strong note Obanor closed with 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 78-62 loss to West Virginia.
Impact Obanor registered an outing that was almost exactly on par with his season averages for points (14.4), rebounds (6.4) and assists (0.9). He also fired off one of his best three-point shooting performances of the season, though this wasn't enough to keep the Red Raiders from being knocked out in the first round of the Big 12 Conference Tournament. With Texas Tech falling well short of expectations at 16-16 overall and 5-13 in conference play, Wednesday's loss will likely mark Obanor's final collegiate outing unless the team accepts an invite to the NIT or CBI.

Nears double-double in tight loss Obanor posted 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes during Saturday's 83-82 loss to TCU.
Impact Obanor once again flirted with a double-double, as he's now averaged 13.3 points and 7.3 rebounds over the last eight games. This span includes his most recent double-double outing when he posted 24 points and 13 boards in an 80-77 win over Iowa State on Jan. 30. Saturday's loss also snapped a four-game winning streak for the Red Raiders, and the team now sits at 5-11 during Big 12 play this season. Obanor will look to keep Texas Tech's tournament chances alive when the team heads to Kansas on Tuesday.

Imposes will in win Obanor notched 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks across 36 minutes during Monday's 74-67 victory over Texas.
Impact Obanor recorded his most blocks of any game this season while also converting his third most free-throw attempts on the year. The 6-foot-8 senior's production has been rather boom or bust this season, though he's largely been a consistent rebounder outside of the Feb. 4 blowout loss to Baylor. Obanor has now averaged 14.7 points and 6.7 rebounds while also converting five of his 12 three-point tries since this defeat to the Bears.

Helps lead 23-point comeback Obanor amassed 24 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 80-77 OT win over Iowa State.
Impact Obanor contributed 18 points in the second half and overtime to help push Texas Tech to its largest comeback in school history. The 6-foot-8 senior did so by forcing his way to the charity stripe for a season-high 15 free-throw attempts. Obanor struggled by converting 41.2 percent of his 9.7 field-goal attempts per game over the Red Raiders' first seven conference matchups. However, he's now posted at least 20 points in each of the past three outings, and he only totaled 10 free-throw tries in these previous two contests. Obanor is also still averaging 6.2 rebounds per game this season, making him one of the Big 12's better fantasy players.

Unphased in Big 12-SEC challenge Obanor ended with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 victory over LSU.
Impact Obanor finished with a game-high 22 points Saturday following his 20-point performance in Texas Tech's previous game versus West Virginia. The 11-10 Red Raiders have struggled mightily as of late, losing each of their eight conference games this season. Obanor's shooting efficiency also took a dip from 49.8 percent on the season to just 43.2 percent during Big 12 play. He'll now look to carry the momentum from these back-to-back solid performances into Monday's tilt against Iowa State.

10 boards in tight defeat Obanor registered eight points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 72-70 loss to Texas.
Impact Obanor posted at least 10 rebounds for the second time this season, as 6-foot-6 forward KJ Allen (leg) missed his third game in a row. The 6-foot-8 senior has been the Red Raiders' most productive player this season, averaging a career-high 15.4 points to go along with 6.3 rebounds per game. He has also logged 10.4 field-goal tries and 4.4 free-throw attempts per game, though he's hit a rough patch with 15 points on 12 combined field-goal attempts over the past two games. Obanor will look to bounce back Tuesday against Baylor.
