Jamal Shead reminded everyone after the Raptors preseason opener that his impact is well beyond the box score, which is exactly why Toronto extended him.
Chris Lambert of Raptors Rapture argues that Jamal Shead's performance in the Toronto Raptors' preseason opener against Miami justified his recent contract extension despite an inefficient shooting line.
