SACRAMENTOThere is a unique energy that Precious Achiuwa brings to the Raptors — frenetic, borderline chaotic at times — and it is necessary regardless of what form it takes on any particular night.
He’s quick and strong and still quite raw and to watch him imbue his team with enthusiasm and oomph is really quite something to behold at times.
Sure, there are moments of “oh, no, what’s he doing?” but they are often shared with glimpses of “oh, my goodness, did you see what he did?”
And no matter how the final third of the NBA regular season plays out for Toronto — whether the Raptors take a step back at the trade deadline by divesting themselves of proven talent or whether they make a push for a playoff spot — harnessing Achiuwa’s skills, temperament, speed and athleticism has to be one of the franchise’s top priorities.
