There was a sense during the preseason, and certainly during the beginning of the G League season, that the Toronto Raptors had something special in Saint Lucian-Canadian centre Chris Boucher. A lanky 6’10”, he showed an ability to hit the three, slash to the rim, and show deft touch around the rim.
As the season has continued through November and now into December though, Boucher’s play seems to be coming on like a steam train. The 30-point games haven’t stymied, even as opposing teams have made it their life’s mission to take Boucher out of games.
