The Toronto Raptors tipped off their Summer League season with a loss. The New Orleans Pelicans were slow to get rolling but once they took the lead, the Raptors folded. The final score flattered Toronto, which managed a Q4 comeback long after the issue was decided.
Winning and losing is not so important in these games. We were hoping to see:
- one or more (dream on) of the swingmen triumvirate separate himself
- an unknown big man surprise us, either offensively or defensively
- OG Anunoby show himself to be a considerable cut above the competition
Let’s consider OG first.
