Raptors' center struggles could make Nate Bittle a real difference-maker

If you’re anything like me, you’d probably be classified by the average Joe as a basketball sicko. With this comes a few things, but most importantly, a brutal sleep schedule. Most nights I’m up till 2 or 3 in the morning trying to consume as much basketball and basketball content as I can. The biggest pro to this recently is that, after moving the Game Theory podcast to Barstool Sports, Sam Vecenie has been doing late-night streams. He had a caller ask about standout two-way players, and he immediately mentioned Toronto Raptors big man Nate Bittle.

Vecenie spoke about how weak the center depth is around the league and even said he had Bittle as a top-50 player in this past 2026 NBA Draft class.
