Raptors: Does Yuta Watanabe have an inside track on a roster spot?

In a few days, the Toronto Raptors will begin training camp, with their first preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers coming up on October 4. A new era of basketball starts in Toronto with young stars like Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa, Yuta Watanabe, and Gary Trent trying to make their mark in the game as members of the Raptors roster.

There will be competition up and down the roster for playing time, but the rotation seems set. However, perhaps the most significant battle is for the final roster spots. NBA franchises are allowed 15 players with two two-way contracts allotted to each franchise.
