Christian Koloko was supposed to be the next ”diamond in the rough” find for this Toronto Raptors front office. Still, an unexpected illness derailed his Raptors tenure, leading to the team’s tough decision to move on from the young centre.
With the news of Koloko’s return, the Raptors’ fanbase was understandably upset. The young Cameroonian big was supposed to be part of this team’s future, showing flashes that he could potentially develop into a decent modern-day big man. It may not sound like a big deal, but the Raptors’ “Run it back” core’s “compete window” couldn’t stay open long enough due to the inability of the front office to find a decent starting centre.
