The 2021 off-season is nearly over, with the NBA and Toronto Raptors looking to begin training camp in less than a month. It’s been eventful the past two months, as the selection of Scottie Barnes and trade Kyle Lowry transpired. Fred VanVleet has gone from a tertiary scorer to the featured point guard and ball-handler.
The 2021-22 season will depend heavily on the continued growth of the Raptors’ young and talented core group, and much will rest on the shoulders of VanVleet.
