With a new era of Raptors basketball underway in Toronto, it’s clear Nick Nurse will be shaking up the rotation and bringing in a variety of lineups. How will this effect Jonas Valanciunas this season?

Could his diminished role this season be an indication that Nick Nurse has a limited use for him in his coaching system?
