Last week during Raptors Media Day, I highlighted comments from Darko Rajakovic during his media availability. He reiterated sentiments he shared during April’s end-of-season scrum. Rajakovic explained that going into the next season, minutes would not be allocated based on a fixed group of players. Instead, players must be ready at all times to earn their playing time. While this may be concerning for some, Rajakovic also offered an optimistic view. He said that every player on the roster should expect opportunities to make an impact, especially considering the talent depth across the full 15-man lineup.
Now, a week later and following new insights from Raptors training camp, we have some additional details to share.
