Jamison Battle to play in NBA Summer League with Toronto Raptors

We didn’t see any Ohio State basketball players taken in the 2024 NBA draft, but we did see one former Buckeye get a deal to play in the NBA’s Summer League on Thursday. According to multiple reports, former OSU forward, Jamison Battle, has signed a deal to play for the Toronto Raptors this summer.

For the Minnesota native, it’s been quite the arc to getting a shot at the game’s highest level. Battle wasn’t looked at by many major colleges coming out of high school but made a name for himself once he got went from George Washington to Minnesota and showed his scoring ability. He then transferred to Ohio State and became one of the best sharp-shooters in the country.

Battle averaged 15.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game all while shooting 43.3% from beyond the arc.

There’s been many players make a career in the NBA with the skill set Battle posesses, and we’ll be right there with the rest of Buckeye Nation rooting for him to land on the Raptors’ active roster.
