"They were really injured last year. They were the most injured teams in all of the NBA last season. A lot of guys missed time. There was no continuity. And so, I think for a young team, it's harder to feel positive progression when you don't have any continuity. But with that said though, I mean, a lot of this has been a trend for multiple years."
"With me, it's like I want to see Scottie Barnes take that step. I want to see if Collin Murray-Boyles can show some competency as a shooter. I want to see if Gradey Dick can find consistency. I want to see what Ja'Kobe Walter looks like, you know, entering his second season. So I I think this is an evaluation year with the Raptor"
The Toronto Raptors combine a very young roster with notable hunger and potential while exposing clear gaps in experience and veteran leadership. Last season featured the highest injury rates in the league, producing little continuity and stalling development for emerging players. The coming season functions as an evaluation year to determine progression and whether the young core can close observable development gaps. Key players to monitor include Scottie Barnes, Collin Murray-Boyles, Gradey Dick, and Ja'Kobe Walter. The Eastern Conference presents opportunity for a surprise core to emerge, but stagnation cannot be tolerated.
