The Toronto Raptors have a type, and their newest addition fits it. Thaddeus Young is a big, long, versatile, high-feel forward with a 6-foot-9 frame and 7-foot wingspan, so you would be forgiven if you thought he was already a Raptor prior to Thursday’s NBA trade deadline.
He wasn’t, but after the Raptors traded Goran Dragic and a protected first-round pick (1-14 in the 2022 NBA Draft, and 1-13 for the 2023 draft) for Young, Drew Eubanks (who has since been waived), and the Detroit Pistons' 2022 second-rounder, he is now.
