As the offseason winds down and I explore some of the different angles that come with it, I found it striking to see Precious Achiuwa, who was once one of the Raptors' young assets and at times seemed like a solid building block for the future, still sitting in free agency waiting for a team to pick him up.
I'd say that when Achiuwa jumped ship to Toronto, there was undoubtedly an expectation, or at least a hope, that he could have a successful Raptors tenure. Considering that arguably franchise GOAT Kyle Lowry was shipped off to Miami in a sign-and-trade, Achiuwa was positioned as the possible crown jewel in the deal.
