I don’t think there are many lists out there highlighting the Toronto Raptors as one of the scariest teams to watch out for this upcoming season. In fact, as NBA staff writer Law Murray of The Athletic points out in his latest power rankings piece titled "NBA Power Rankings, summer edition: Knicks, Nuggets are contenders; Celtics, Pacers slide," the Raptors find themselves in a less-than-desirable position.
Somewhat laughably enough, the Raptors would be thrust into what Murray highlights as "Tier 4: Not the Tier to Fear," falling to the 23rd spot out of 30 teams — just one measly spot ahead of their previous 24th ranking in the last set of power rankings.
