The Toronto Raptors have seen the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers hire two of their former coaches in Adrian Griffin and Nick Nurse, respectively. Their own coaching search features names like Sergio Scariolo, Jordi Fernandez, and Steve Nash, yet minimal progress has been made.
If the Raptors want to make an internal hire, their best option in Griffin has been taken off the board. Scariolo, who spent last season in Italy with Virtus Bologna, might be the best facsimile of an internal promotion the Raptors could make. The odds seem to be bullish on him being hired.
