The Toronto Raptors made a pre-agency move for this summer by acquiring Brandon Ingram via trade before shutting him down for the season before he played a single game. Ingram's arrival marks a shift back to the organization's infamous competitive ethos, with the addition of a center like Domantas Sabonis further elevating their franchise. Instead of relying on the injury-prone small guard like Immanuel Quickley, the team phases him out to run a similar style they have all season without a key ball-handler. All players are great at freelancing on the court and passing when required, which is why it has worked with mixed results.

Quickley is averaging 17.5 points and 5.8 assists this season. He can help fill the gap at starting point guard on the franchise, while Poeltl, who's averaging 14.6 points and 9.7 rebounds this season, can become a high-level starter for the franchise. Noneteheless, we know the Raptors will likely hold onto them until the winter and hope they get the right value they wanted in a deal.
