Toronto Raptors: Ishmail Wainright must make the Opening Night team

The Toronto Raptors have a large chunk of their rotation already, but after the signing of Svi Mykhailiuk, it appears as if five players with partial guarantees will battle it out for three remaining NBA roster spots. One of those players looking to stick in the NBA is Ishmail Wainright, who is coming off of a very successful stint in France.

Wainright, who made his mark as a defensive stopper during his time at Baylor, is hoping that his tight end-like size at 6-5 and 250 pounds can help him stick with a Raptors team that very clearly values versatility and the ability to line up anywhere on the court and have success.
