It’s been a tumultuous couple of months for the Raptors. Throughout all of March, the team managed to win just a single game. Since the start of April, however, fans have seen a different side to this Raptors squad. With each game’s active roster reduced to whoever happens not to be resting that night, Toronto’s newer additions have stepped up nicely and put their various skill sets on display.
Khem Birch has shown off his offensive versatility, displaying creativity in the pick-and-roll, throwing a few dazzling passes, and even knocking down some shots from long range. I’m pleased with what I’ve seen so far, but at this point, I suppose any centre who can even just catch the ball when it’s passed to him will suffice.
