The Toronto Raptors are welcoming in plenty of new faces this season, but one returning fan favorite that will be back in the fold is Yuta Watanabe, who ended up going from a two-way player with some potential into a high-energy wing that made an impact on games with his defense.
Watanabe, who was discarded by the Memphis Grizzlies, didn’t have the most productive offensive game at times, but he fit in with what Toronto wanted to do in terms of roster building, as the 6-9 guard/wing hybrid could defend multiple positions with aplomb.
