Jared Sullinger is an imperfect fit, but a perfectly fine stop-gap for the Raptors

Masai Ujiri broke his off-season silence by signing Jared Sullinger to a one-year deal. How does the replacement for Luis Scola fit?

Jared Sullinger is the epitome of okay. Monday's signing of the former Celtic was a more-exciting-than-expected end to the Raptors' silence this month, but it doesn't exactly crackle with potential the way the low-key addition of Bismack Biyombo did a year ago.

That's fine. The Raptors are a 56-win team returning a core that should experience internal growth. A handful of prospects, some of whom are ready to contribute meaningfully this season, are dazzling at summer league as well.
