This will be one of the new posts I will be discussing about the Toronto Raptors on there upsides and downfalls. As you can see, currently, the raps are now have a preseason record of 2-1. This record doesn't mean much as the games are not official, but it gives a better picture on the chemistry of , the players as well as a better understanding of the new players and their abilities, compared to "stabs in the dark" predictions.
The raptors pulled away with the win with 102-95. In the Raptors debut, they had to face off against a foreign team, know as the Real Madrid. They held there own for the most part, with former NBA player Rudy Fernandez playing pretty well with 10 points, 4 assist. As for the Raptors, one of the big surprises ive seen was their back up back up point guard, John Lucas III (yes I really mean back up back up, meaning he would be the last guy off the bench) did pretty good with 16, points, 2 assist over just back up point guard, Jose Calderon with 9 points, 8 assist. Dont get me worng, assists are amazing, but with your third string point guard scoring like that can only mean good things. Terrence Ross scored 10 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assist, for a rookie, thats very good as he is the only rookie for the raptors making his debut. Unfortunately, Jonas Valanucias couldnt make his debut because of a strained calf. Demar Derozen had the team high with 18 points, 6 rebounds, which is a good start for the team.
