Raptors’ reserves taking their turns in starring roles

Opponents never know where the offence is going to come from when facing Toronto’s second unit.

Pascal Siakam and Jakob Poeltl, right, aren’t shouting their own praises but they could be, the way the Raptors’ second unit continues to play.

Dwane Casey knows he’s going to get effort every night from the impressive group of backups that the Toronto Raptors have amassed, and most nights he’s going to get excellent play.

But just to keep him guessing, when he runs out a group of Fred VanVleet, Delon Wright, C.J. Miles, Pascal Siakam and Jakob Poeltl, the coach is never quite sure who’s going to handle the bulk of the scoring responsibilities.
