Patience will be key for Raptors who turn their attention toward the future following the loss to the Knicks.
The Toronto Raptors will need to be patient as the organization turns its attention to the future following a loss to the New York Knicks.The Toronto Raptors’ president Masai Ujiri expressed a desire to return to the organization’s draft-and-develop roots. From 2015 to 2017, the Raptors had a remarkable streak of successful draft picks and undrafted free agent signings, which is difficult to comprehend now.However, Toronto’s track record has been problematic since then.
Except for Scottie Barnes, who has been a huge success thus far, Toronto has not signed a single draft pick or undrafted free agent in the last five years. Even the young prospects they’ve acquired through trades haven’t turned out.
To be honest, a championship-winning three-year run cannot be the standard. Achieving 1.000 over a multi-year sample is an unattainable aim. However, Toronto’s recent lack of success has taken its toll, as the team has been lacking proper depth for the last three seasons.In recent years, Toronto has struggled to find a successful draft pick or undrafted free agent, despite a championship-winning three-year stretch. Benzema’s international career with France has ended.
