Newly acquired Serge Ibaka is a talented player. He is a lockdown defender, he hustles and has heart, and he can shoot (and make) the three-point shot. But none of this will matter if he doesn’t fit into the Toronto Raptors’ system and/or doesn’t have chemistry with the current players. So what aspects of Ibaka’s personality and game will strengthen the Raptors? According to members of the team, who spoke to The Toronto Star, everything about Ibaka will help the team out.
Kyle Lowry said that Ibaka’s 38.8 percent three-point shooting (current season average) will help open the floor up and allow players to attack the basket.
