I’m sure like many Utah fans, we all have a bit of a soft spot in our heart for the Toronto Raptors, since they drafted Delon Wright and Jakob Poeltl in back-to-back NBA Drafts, both in the first round. As is normal for most rookies, both Wright and Poeltl took a bit of time to adjust to the NBA and earn time in the rotation. Wright has also been slowed by injuries a little throughout his young career. Now in their 3rd (Wright) and 2nd (Poeltl) seasons with the Raptors, both are contributors in the NBA Playoffs, and both had a big impact on Game 5 of their first round series against the Washington Wizards.
