Highlights

  • The departure of Fred VanVleet will require the Raptors to adjust at the point guard position, with Dennis Schröder likely taking over as the starter.
  • Toronto's depth has improved with a solidified starting lineup and a strong second unit featuring players like Gary Trent Jr., Jalen McDaniels, and rookie Gradey Dick.
  • Scottie Barnes's growth will be a key factor for the Raptors, as he has the opportunity to unlock more of his game under a new head coach and with more room to operate as a playmaker. Pascal Siakam's leadership will also be crucial for the team's success.
