Raptors’ Christian Koloko registered another double-double in G League
Toronto Raptors rookie Christian Koloko on Monday put up another double-double performance on assignment in the G League with the Raptors 905.
Koloko produced 10 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in 25 minutes of work in the 115-112 loss at home. He finished by shooting 4-of-8 from the field in the contest, which was his fourth of the season with the 905.
The 33rd pick registered his third straight double-double with the effort after playing with tremendous energy and effort. He has filled the stat sheet in each game in the G League and has offered a glimpse of what he can bring to the Raptors.

The Raptors assigned Koloko to the 905 for the first time this season on Jan. 21. With the team seemingly as healthy as it has been all year, Koloko hasn’t played much of late. The team believes the G League can serve as a great opportunity to develop and log consistent playing time.
He has responded by averaging 12.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, four blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals on 55.3% shooting from the field with the 905. He is hauling in 5.5 offensive rebounds per game and has scored in double figures in each game thus far.
Koloko is still viewed as a bit of a raw player. His time in the G League will allow him to work on his game and refine his overall skillset a bit to better be suited to contribute on a nightly basis.
