If you had to sum up the Toronto Raptors offseason in one word, “transformative” could easily suffice. Kyle Lowry is now a member of the Miami Heat, and players like OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet will have to take on even more responsibility on both ends to make up for him.
The Raptors are simultaneously trying to tinker with the roster to get back to the postseason and go forward with their youth movement, as the selection of Scottie Barnes and addition of Precious Achiuwa shows a commitment to athletic, versatile youngsters that could serve them well.
