The big fella has logged a few minutes against the Cavs today.
Currently in the third 0/1 from the field, 1 rebound.
Go Nate, minutes may be coming for the rest of the season now..

Hopefully with O'Neal gone now, Jawai can get a share of the backup minutes and have a decent run....
Good to see him getting on the court early in this game!

He has only logged 1 minute to date and remains 0/1 and has 1 rebound.
With JO gone and Bosch sitting theb game out injured, let's hope he can get a few more minutes in this game.
Raps are down by 15 with just under 5min left.

Jawai just scored his first NBA basket off a nice little pass from Marion....

Why even comment like that mystro?
That was the most he has played so far, and Toronto just traded a big. Hopefully when Nate gets a bit more burn he will post better numbers.
Or are you like humpa and just hate to see an Aussie make it.

Kris Humphries is also out with a broken leg and Voshkul is still ahead of him in the rotations for now.
I watched the game, and he actually gave some pretty good minutes...Went after a few offensive boards, played good D, forced Z into a travel once and the man sets a MEAN screen.
However, with Bosh due back, Graham shifting back to the bench and Hump coming back in a few weeks from now, plus Voshkul and Marion playing the 4...I don't think we'll see an increase in minutes.
Doug Smith, who writes a blog for Toronto always suggests that Jawai will be a contributer next season

Im just giving the same reply I got when Sean Marks recorded his best numbers to date, have a look and you'll see where i'm coming from. I applaud anyone who isn't an american (and especially from this part of the world) that can make it into the NBA and get some court time especially as a lot of mean players get overlooked for one reason or another, as for the how many NBA games have you played comment, the same amount as you LC, ZERO/ZILCH/NADA.

The Raps just traded for O'Bryant, so more competion for Jawai.
But when all their players are fit this may allow Jawai to be sent down to the D-League to get some decent game time and some fitness.
I would just forget this season and try to get him fit for next year. He is not going to get match fit playing 0-5min a game.
