We're approaching the final stretch before the start of the 2025-26 regular season.

So far, in the exhibition games, the Toronto Raptors have looked relatively solid. Brandon Ingram, their big acquisition, has been performing as a scoring threat — hopefully even more than usual. Other newcomers like Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili are quickly making their presence felt. Meanwhile, for those uncertain reserves fighting for a consistent role, like Gradey Dick, he is working hard to establish himself in the ranks.

Talent is certainly not lacking on this Raptors team, but the big question throughout the offseason has been where they rank among their Eastern Conference contemporaries.
