Jerryd Bayless has been traded twice this season, which has meant learning many new plays.

“The hardest part? Just the transition and learning all of the plays,” Bayless said. “I’ve learned three different playbooks, and each playbook is probably 60, 70 plays. So I’m learning 60 or 70 plays three times. Also, just finding out what everybody does well. With Portland, I knew because I’d been there for a few years. I went to New Orleans and I was only there for a few weeks. I tried to learn that. And then I came here. It’s definitely been an interesting year.”

Bayless has enjoyed his time with the club.

“I love not only the organization but the city,” he said.

But Bayless has also been inconsistent in his time with the Raptors.

“I think the one thing with him is he needs to play a little bit,” Raptors coach Jay Triano said. “I have probably not given him enough minutes up to this point. Over the last three or four games, I’ve been able to give him more minutes. I’ve been able to play him with Jose as well. I think he’s responded well to that. He’s playing through mistakes instead of going out there and being afraid he’s going to get pulled if he makes one.”

Bayless is under contract for one more season.

“It’s one thing to learn and know an offense,” Triano said. “It’s another thing to learn and know it from five positions. And that’s what we expect from our point guards.”
