Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa emerges as true force in NBA playoffs vs. Sixers

PHILADELPHIA—It was a Friday afternoon at the Overtown Optimist Club in downtown Miami, the site of a Raptors off-day practice, when a top team official was sitting in the sideline bleachers watching the workout wind down.

Precious Achiuwa was getting in some late work with the team’s development staff and it elicited this comment about the raw second-year forward:

“I don’t know if he’ll ever get it but if he does …” the staffer said with a shake of his head that would indicate the answer was likely ”no.”

Well, he gets it.
