At shooting guard for the Journeyman Team, we have a mainstay role player making his 3rd straight appearance in Garrett Temple. The 37-year old wing is currently the 6th oldest player in the NBA, behind only LeBron James, PJ Tucker, Chris Paul, Taj Gibson, and Kyle Lowry. After going undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft, Temple played for five different teams during his first two seasons. When he could not find a home in the NBA during his early seasons, he decided to play overseas in Italy for a year.
He came back to the United States the following season and lit up the G-League, averaging 15 PPG, 6 APG, and 5 RPG, landing him a long-term contract with the Wizards. Since then he has been a quality role player and depth option for six different teams. He joins the Raptors for the 2023-2024 season.
