The Toronto Raptors lack of size has bothered me since Amir Johnson left. I don’t know how much I blame GM Masai Ujiri for not backfilling the power forward spot more aggressively. I suspect he thought Patrick Patterson would be able to step right into Amir’s shoes, but that hasn’t been the case. Luis Scola was signed as a free agent, and was third on the depth chart until pre-season games commenced. At that point, Patrick fumbled his opportunity, and Scola has been the starter since.
To me, this is not a tenable situation. Scola is tied for 22nd in Rebounds Per Game [PG] (with Amir and Taj Gibson – how weird is that?
