DeAndre’ Bembry is making the most of his opportunities for the Raptors this season. Currently in his inaugural season with Toronto, the 26-year-old wing has earned a regular place among the Raps’ rotation — which didn’t seem like it would happen after he sat for nine games and barely appeared in the season’s first month. As Bembry and his team’s identity emerged through the opening half of the NBA season, so too has his potential to contribute on a nightly basis in a highly competitive Eastern Conference.
Consistent play at both ends of the floor resulted in Bembry’s uptick in minutes per-game since the start of 2021.
