The Toronto Raptors seem to have made a habit out of proving doubters wrong.
Scottie Barnes put together an incredible rookie campaign, even after many Raptors fans were sceptical of the pick.
The entire Raptors organization expects Barnes to take another step forward this year, adding things like improved long-distance shooting and ball-handling to his repertoire. They were able to weather the storm last year, but injury concerns lingered even into the playoffs, with Barnes and starting point guard Fred VanVleet each missing two games in their first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Montreal natives Khem Birch and Chris Boucher have been successful in stints, but have mostly played better in bench roles, while 23-year-old Precious Achiuwa, who the Raptors acquired from Miami in exchange for Kyle Lowry, is still a work-in-progress. Whether team president Masai Ujiri decides to make a move for another star will depend on many things, but he’s proven that he’s not afraid to shake things up if there’s a trade on the table that he thinks will make the team better.The Raptors aren’t the only team with playoff aspirations in the Eastern Conference, in fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a team without them.
