With a multitude of injuries plaguing the team, the Toronto Raptors have completely shifted their attention to improving for next season. It might be a bit grim to see the once mighty Raptors fall from grace, but considering each defeat can make or break their first-round pick conveying this year, it makes the team’s losses sting a lot less.
Nonetheless, there are some bright spots to look forward to with the Raptors’ young core, as they have a solid “big three” of Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Scottie Barnes. Not to mention, their 2023 first-round pick, Gradey Dick, has been showing tremendous upside in the latter half of the season.
They’ve made other key moves to help the roster in the 2024-25 season, like extending hometown kid Kelly Olynyk for an additional two years with the team. The front office may be reviewing all these components and believe they have everything figured out.
