Part of the fun and, simultaneously, the stress of entering this next year of Toronto Raptors fandom is the amount we don’t know. Between the new signings, important trade acquisitions, big-time rookies, and shuffling the entire franchise’s deck, young players like Malachi Flynn and Scottie Barnes will likely be in focus.
Potential is the most dangerous thing in professional sports, but it’s also the most fun. Imagining what a guy could be one day can be as enticing as seeing the results pay off.
