The Toronto Raptors bench will feature HEAVY competition — who has the INSIDE TRACK on minutes?



The Toronto Raptors bench will feature HEAVY competition — who has the INSIDE TRACK on minutes?

The Toronto Raptors second unit should feature all kinds of competition for minutes and expanded roles, and that seems to be just fine with head coach Darko Rajaković. In Episode 1952, Sean Woodley and Chelsea Leite (Raptors HQ) chat about the Raptors second unit and attempt the rank the team’s reserve in order of most to least likely to be rotation mainstays this season. Off the top, they chat about Gradey Dick, who figures to be the closest thing this team has to a true sixth man after carrying far too much offensive burden last year. Plus, will Ochai Agbaji be a Mr. Reliable again, or could he end up being the odd man out if the roster crunches before the trade deadline? Next, they chat about Collin Murray-Boyles and why he seems destined to play a bunch off the bench this season, especially after his coach sung his praises at Media Day. Lastly, they chat about last years’ rookie crop of Jamal Shead, Ja’Kobe Walter, Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo, all of whom are likely to have to earn their minutes over simply being handed them.

  1. Bench 5: Shead/Walter – depending on size of PG matchup to pick up 94feet, Dick, Och, CMB, Mamu.

    Injury Replacements: Lawson for Shead & Walter, Battle for Dick & Och, Mogbo for CMB & Mamu.

  2. I feel like they're down playing CMB for everyone.

    I see him being that 6th/7th man type of guy right away, with Ja'kobe.

    I would also consider starting either of them, in RJ's spot, depending on the play style you want on a night to night.

  3. 21:44 – he's a ghost, it feels like he can just appear into the action, and disrupts the other team. Rewatch some of the summer league stuff, you'll see what I mean.

    Nickname – Boo

    At worst, he's at the freethrow line on the road, and the crowd starts "booing" now they've fallen right into your trap. Make them feel like they're cheering you on.
