Things were looking up for a bit after the Toronto Raptors traded for Jakob Poeltl, but ultimately the team’s mediocrity set in as they finished with a 1-4 record on their recent road trip. The good news is that the Raptors’ starting unit looks good. Jakob Poeltl’s re-arrival has made a big impact on both ends, and O.G. Anunoby is cooking again. The bad news is that the Raptors’ depth remains very much a weakness – bad enough to lose many of the leads built by the starters. The team as a whole just isn’t popping, and they don’t have much time to turn things around.
