Unlike many of their Eastern Conference foes who lost their stars to the West (Pacers losing Paul George to the Thunder, Bulls losing Jimmy Butler to the Timberwolves), the Raps resigned Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka on 3 year deals to once again pair them with DeMar DeRozan hoping that another year to gel can provide different results.
So instead of looking at high-profile acquisitions, fans will have to turn their focus. We must look internally hoping for someone within the system to break out and become a major difference maker.
When looking for a potential breakout player on the Raps, most fans will point to Norman Powell.
