Masai Ujiri, Nick Nurse, and the Toronto Raptors have done an admirable job of clawing back to relevancy following their awful start to get right back in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. While the Raptors are playing some exciting basketball of late, this roster is far from perfect.
The Raptors have ranked smack dab in the middle in several key offensive and defensive statistics. While that has been due to key players like OG Anunoby and Kyle Lowry missing time due to injury, some players that were expected to play huge roles in Nurse’s rotation have shrunk under the weight of the expectations.
