The Toronto Raptors took a big hit in free agency when they lost Danny Green to the Lakers and Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers. Not only were they a key part to the Toronto Raptor’s offense, but they were essential to the way Toronto defended as well. Even after Leonard and Green’s departure, the Raptors front office were able to make additions that allowed them to be seen as a strong defensive unit.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Stanley Johnson are young versatile defenders who will be able to contribute right away. Patrick McCaw and Marc Gasol being brought back also helps the Raptors on that end as they did a great job of putting pressure on the person they were guarding.
