The suddenly-hot Toronto Raptors have won 3 in a row and 5 of its last 6 games. Reaction across the Raptors fan base has been a muted (borderline non-existent) sense of excitement.
Are the Raptors ruining the tank?
Let’s answer this question together by answering another question. Who have been the 3 best players during this stretch of positive games? Scottie Barnes is the only obvious answer.
The other two spots could go to any combination of RJ Barrett, Chris Boucher, Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, or Jakob Poeltl. Depending on what rumours you choose to believe, all 5 of them could be traded away next week.
