Raptors coach Nick Nurse is in a quandary.
He sees much promise in Chris Boucher and would love to see if that promise can turn into regular production for a team that could use a consistent young big man off the bench.
But at what cost?
How does the coach give Boucher enough time to show what he’s really got when it means someone else won’t play for a team that’s among the best right now in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. It’s a tough one for Nurse to figure out, and he’s not above wondering publicly how he might solve the issue.
