Raptors Could Target Nick Richards To “Fix” Their Center Problem

The problems we need fixed, Is the starting center position, point guard and backup center.
no no no to Richards.. Too many fouls, no floor spacing, weak passer out of the post.. Limited by lack of shooting, passing, and defensive versatility.. With his inconsistance effort it would drag us down even more. Quickly is bad enough and if you add Richards we are in trouble with effort
Yves Missi might be a good fit he is down 8 minutes of playing time on a bad team. The general rule whne your bad is you play these player to get them experience, however he is down minutes. 18 minutes and 1.2 blocks is pretty good. How about Ochai and at minimum 2 2nds I would even consider 3 seconds for a center at 21 that shows potential
Richards is a good player, but I am not sure he addresses our center issues.
We need a couple of 7-footers!
If the Clippers are sellers, Zubac would be solid!
AD on 2019 Kawhi minutes!
The only benefit to getting NR is getting under the tax and possibly opening the 15th roster spot.
