Higher power and depth from Treasured. He could also be among the finest “bigs” within the league with the ball going from baseline to baseline. There have been instances he did an excessive amount of, however he’s a brand new man in Toronto and now could be the time to check his limits.
B+
O. Anunoby29 MIN, 17 PTS, 5 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 6-14 FG, 3-8 3FG, 3- FT, 0 BLK, 1 TO, +1 +/-
A slower begin led me to imagine OG would have that letdown sport we noticed far too typically final season. Nevertheless, he actually is beginning to unlock that subsequent stage to his shot creation. Jayson Tatum would be the first of many gamers caught unexpectedly after OG pulls out the step again. Preserve an eye fixed out on his improved passing.

S. Barnes30 MIN, 9 PTS, 5 REB, 8 AST, 0 STL, 4-10 FG, 0-3 3FG, 2- FT, 2 BLK, 3 TO, -13 +/-
The offense is a piece in progress however we’re seeing the Draymond Inexperienced comparisons floor. If something, Nick Nurse will have the ability to mud off a few of these jumbo playmaker actions from the highest of the arc he used with Marc Gasol. Additionally – it appears to be like and feels like he’s doing quite a lot of directing on the market, particularly for a rookie.

G. Dragic14 MIN, 6 PTS, 1 REB, 0 AST, 0 STL, 2-7 FG, 1-1 3FG, 1- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, -12 +/-
His Raptor Killer powers have completely been transferred to Payton Pritchard. I’m most likely simply going to disregard Goran till the common season opener.
B+
F. VanVleet29 MIN, 22 PTS, 3 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL, 8-15 FG, 6-8 3FG, 0- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, +1 +/-
I actually like that Freddie trusts Scottie to deal with the ball in the course of the starting of units, permitting him to initially play offball. Between the rookie, Pascal, and OG, Fred could have loads of alternatives to do what he does greatest, and that’s creating appears to be like away from the motion.

We had been launched to Huge Shot Sam tonight.

F. Gillespie10 MIN, 0 PTS, 6 REB, 1 AST, 0 STL, 0-1 FG, 0-0 3FG, 0- FT, 0 BLK, 3 TO, +3 +/-
The journey after OG discovered him and getting his dunk try blocked on the feed from VanVleet sums up his preseason. I’m undecided why that spark that he typically performed with final season is gone.
C+
J. Champagnie18 MIN, 3 PTS, 1 REB, 0 AST, 2 STL, 1-3 FG, 0-1 3FG, 2- FT, 2 BLK, 0 TO, +8 +/-
I liked the sequence the place he blocked Kanter after which contested the second shot try instantly after. The man has bounce and is a enjoyable prospect to place via the Raptors growth program.

M. Flynn15 MIN, 0 PTS, 2 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 0-6 FG, 0-6 3FG, 0- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, -6 +/-
It is a doom and gloom sort of take, however I don’t be ok with Malachi’s future with the crew. He’ll have a greater alternative when Dragic will get moved, however even then, I’d slightly Dalano, Pascal, OG, and even Scottie get pick-and-roll reps.
C+
D. Banton6 MIN, 7 PTS, 1 REB, 2 AST, 0 STL, 3-6 FG, 0-1 3FG, 1- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, +6 +/-
At his peak and size, Banton will get to spots faster than you’d anticipate. I’d prefer to see him get extra burn in these closing two exhibition video games.
Inc
D. Johnson4 MIN, 5 PTS, 0 REB, 1 AST, 0 STL, 2-2 FG, 1-1 3FG, 0- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, +3 +/-
I’d additionally prefer to see extra of the forgotten rookie. That was a clean jumper to tie the sport late within the fourth.
B-
S. Mykhailiuk22 MIN, 12 PTS, 4 REB, 0 AST, 1 STL, 4-9 FG, 2-5 3FG, 2- FT, 0 BLK, 3 TO, -3 +/-
Not his greatest sport as a Raptor, nevertheless it’ll be unattainable for Nurse to not give this man minutes off the bench.
B-
G. Trent Jr.24 MIN, 14 PTS, 2 REB, 1 AST, 0 STL, 5-14 FG, 2-7 3FG, 2- FT, 0 BLK, 0 TO, +1 +/-
It was wild seeing him make an offball minimize twice. He understandably performs in a different way with a number of the starters on the ground. In his protection, we by no means did get a very good pattern dimension final 12 months. We’re going to want his scoring this 12 months.
Inc
I. Bonga7 MIN, 0 PTS, 2 REB, 2 AST, 1 STL, 0-1 FG, 0-0 3FG, 0- FT, 0 BLK, 1 TO, +9 +/-
Beloved his power.
B
Nick Nurse
He requested for a video evaluate, acquired on the refs a number of instances, and known as timeouts prefer it was a daily season sport. We additionally acquired “open-mouthed” Nick for the primary time this 12 months. He’s able to go.
Issues We Noticed
With Pascal sidelined, we’re going to undergo some critical scoring droughts this season.
Tatum appears to be like like he’s had a development spurt each season. He has that “I can get my shot off at any time when I would like” perspective that you just see from Kevin Durant.
Do you suppose 2014 Jabari Parker envisioned enjoying with the 9 gamers he was on the courtroom with within the closing minutes of this sport?
Did David Johnson foul on objective so Nick may draw up a game-winning three and Jack Armstrong may go dwelling?
