""It's kind of weird for a lot of us. Me being 26, him [RJ Barrett] only being 25, we kind of have a role of not only learning at the same time, but also helping younger guys.""
""Jakob Poeltl has the most playoff experience on the Raptors' roster. He played in 22 playoff games and won two series, even though he didn't play much in his first trip to the postseason.""
""Barrett and Quickley are next in line with 16 and 13 playoff games, respectively. They went to the playoffs twice with the New York Knicks and won one series in 2023, beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1.""
The Raptors are a young team with Jakob Poeltl as the only player over 28 in the rotation. Key players like Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, both in their mid-twenties, must take on leadership roles despite their own limited experience. Quickley and Barrett have more playoff experience than most on the team, with Quickley having played 13 games and Barrett 16. Poeltl leads with 22 playoff games, but overall, the team lacks seasoned veterans to guide younger players like Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter.
