The Toronto Raptors closed the book on the Kyle Lowry era, ushering in a new, exciting age led by Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and Pascal Siakam. The Raptors are leaning on a new batch of stars that could fit Masai Ujiri’s plan for a team built on defense, versatility, and hustle.
The 2021-22 season, which has already been prefaced by Ujiri as a year that could birth plenty of growing pains, might seem like a very relaxed year for Toronto.
