After a quiet off-season for the Raptors, only two rotation-impacting things actually happened. Bismack Biyombo walked to the Magic (Luis Scola and James Johnson are also gone, but that was set in stone a while ago), and Jared Sullinger signed on for the mid-level exception on a one year deal.
Biyombo will be quite the loss, but can Sullinger make up for it? Can he help the team get even better than last season?
Replacing Biyombo and Scola
As one of three functional and proven big men in the Raptors' rotation, Sullinger will be relied on to provide minutes at both the 4 and the 5 spot.
