Some things never change. Despite the rest of the Eastern Conference taking a bit of a face lift, the good old Toronto Raptors will still be a force. Led by DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, the Raptors figure to still have a say in who comes out of the East.
Even though this team lost Bismack Biyombo in free agency, the combination of Jared Sullinger and rookie Jakob Poeltl could be the start in replacing him. Though, I’m not sure either one of them is the answer.
Nevertheless, with the continued progression of Jonas Valanciunas, this team should be set to perhaps make another trip to the Conference Finals.
