Anthony Bennett and James Johnson can’t coexist for the Raptors

Yesterday, the Toronto Raptors were able to sign Canadian Anthony Bennett after he was waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The big question is whether Anthony Bennett and James Johnson can coexist.

Johnson and Bennett are not identical players by any means, but they certainly have some overlapping skills. They are a similar height (6-9 and 6-8 respectively) and weight (245 and 240 pounds respectively), which they both enjoy using to play offence primarily in the paint.
