The Toronto Raptors’ bench has always been an important part of their success because of how well Nick Nurse makes the most of a player. With some players returning and new faces returning, it’s time to talk about each player’s role moving forward.
Head coach Nick Nurse uses his bench just as one would try solving a puzzle. Utilizing different pieces to fill an area of need depending on the opponent. A certain player will be playable against the 76ers, but that same player could be rotated four times before finding out he’s unplayable against the Celtics.
