The Toronto Raptors need shooting as badly as any team in the league, as a promising season was undercut and ruined by the fact they never found the consistency needed to beat teams in half-court situations. The lack of 3-pointers is what really did them in last year.
Gary Trent Jr. was excellent, and OG Anunoby couldn’t miss for a stretch in the season half of the season, but the damage had been done already. Toronto was already destined for a season of play-in hijinx, and they were condemned to go through the same struggles every night, like Sisyphus pushing his boulder.
