Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,

Yes, we’ve entered the “comparing the Raptors to nursery rhymes” portion of the pandemic! The story of Humpty Dumpty, as one Writer has surmised, is one of risk, failure, and perseverance.
The Raptors have exhibited their fair share of risk since hoisting the Larry OB in 2019. The departure of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green allowed Nick Nurse to go all-in on his switch-heavy defense (#2 defensive rating) while transitioning the shot profile away from the mid-range, ranking 3rd in percentage of shots at the rim and 6th in percentage of shots from three last season.
