The Toronto Raptors Defensive Phenoms No One Is Talking About
The Toronto Raptors quietly had the most underrated defensive duo in the NBA last season with Ochai Agbaji and Jakob Poeltl. After the All-Star break, both players ranked 1st and 2nd in defensive rating among qualified players, proving just how disruptive they were on the floor. Agbaji has developed into an elite point-of-attack defender, while Poeltl continues to anchor the paint with rim protection, rebounding, and discipline. Together, they formed the backbone of a Raptors defense that drastically improved when they shared the floor, creating a chain reaction that funneled opponents into inefficient mid-range shots. In this video, we dive into the advanced stats and hidden stories that show why Agbaji and Poeltl may be the spine of Toronto’s defense moving forward. Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram are the stars, while these two are the glue that makes the Raptors competitive on both ends of the floor.
