The new-look Raptors start their NBA season with a WIN and it was largely down to the great play of Dennis Schroder in this change in offensive style for Toronto. The team really got things working in the full court with the likes of Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and Schroder initiating plays but also with the likes of OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa getting downhill. The transition game worked so well so it negated the necessity of a half-court presence but this may not be the case in every game this season.
The Raptors are evolving on the fly to a brand new style of play with rookie head coach Darko Rajakovic and with a different style of point guard compared to Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet with Schroder. The team still struggled to generate offense as the game slowed down so what steps need to be taken to maximize on court output this season?

Rate Schroder's debut out of 10! ⬇
Fred VanWho? Man, if I was in H-Town, I would be crying today. Yes FVV had some legendary moments as a Rap, but when good things come to an end, you don't give the guy 43$mil a year. This new team looks far more exciting than last year.
Why do peoppe act like Fred and Schroder is like a Luka Trae type thing, people want to act like FVV was some sort of villain who betrayed us and everyone is praying I like Schroeder and think he will be a good player for us but as far as Fred I dont care what he looks like in houston
without being greedy, good passing, good open shots, good spacing on the court, man is perfect for us
Finally a real pointguard.
Scottie, OG and Pascal hit 3 last night. I think they hit the gym and got shots up this summer… spacing might not even be that big of problem outside of our bigs
Your argument is a concern if we make playoffs. We got 81 games to get good there. We need to slowly build a ball movement offense to shift Def and get quality looks.
Masai dropped the ball by not trading fred when he had the chance to get something…anything would have been fine
wow I've seen people celebrate less after winning the championship lmao
Great work here, just subscribed. Keep it up!!
