Heading into the Raptors’ 2017-18 season, much of the team’s depth chart seems relatively predictable, except when discussing the frontcourt. For better or for worse, Toronto has left themselves with a lot of options at the four and five positions. Now they have to come up with a rotation that best fits the style of play they intend to implement and fits the talents of the players.
The Raptors currently have six power forwards/centres on their roster. Most of these men have an argument for more floor time, with varying degrees of legitimacy.
Style of play will determine rotation
The faces and names are not going to be much different from last year’s frontcourt, but a change in strategy should make them feel brand new.
