The Toronto Raptors are not regarded as a team that is going to accomplish much in the 2023-24 season, as the trade rumors surrounding Pascal Siakam and the team’s generally substandard offensive talent have them positioned to be a squad on the fringe of the postseason.
Masai Ujiri doesn’t seem to be so negative, however, as he thinks that bringing Darko Rajakovic in as the replacement for Nick Nurse is the secret ingredient this team needs to get back on track. The Raptors might need one or two of their bench players to step up.
The Raptors’ bench might not be viewed as a collection of elite role players ready to pop off like their championship 2019 unit was, but the talent is still there.
