Young Raptors are playing fast — sometimes too fast. But there’s a method to their youthful exuberance

Tricky passes through traffic are going to end up in the seats every now and then, as one did from Scottie Barnes to Precious Achiuwa on Wednesday night.

But Barnes is quite capable of throwing a nifty no-look gem through a maze of teammates and opponents in the paint, as he did later in the evening.

And sometimes transition opportunities are going to go awry with an offensive foul to bring them to a halt, as one did when Dalano Banton was called for a charge for the Raptors against the Indiana Pacers.

But then Banton is going to take off from about his own throw line, breeze past a defender or two and finish a layup, get fouled and complete a three-point play.
