Raptors' Lineup Conundrum
The Toronto Raptors are halfway through the pre-season and have yet to showcase their full starting lineup. Head Coach Darko Rajakovic is aware of the challenge.
Despite glimpses of potential, such as the connection between Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes working together, the absence of Jakob Poeltl has left many questions unanswered.
Developing chemistry within the starting group is crucial for the team to reach its full potential. Last year's starters, with Gradey Dick instead of Brandon Ingram, played in just eight games and had a net rating of -9.2.
The Raptors' rotation, when fully healthy, will be just as important as the starting group.
