Raptors 905, the Toronto Raptors’ D-League affiliate, recently held an open tryout, drawing a large collection of hoopers looking for a chance at a life in professional basketball—plus one VICE employee.

While he may have looked the part of a legitimate basketball player, I think it’s safe to say we agreed with 905 coach Jerry Stackhouse’s assessment of him. Check out the video to see how he did and to hear Stackhouse’s evaluation.

Spoiler: he didn’t make the team. Maybe next year, Howard.

The 905 season begins with a home game Nov. 18 at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga.
