THE FUTURE IS NOW FOR THE TORONTO RAPTORS
Fresh off a 2024-25 season that saw them grow in several key areas, culminating in a 12-10 record in March and April, there should be plenty of optimism for the season ahead.
Featuring veterans Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, Immanuel Quickly, Toronto native RJ Barrett, plus new Raptor Brandon Ingram, who will be back and fully healthy, a solid base exists for a team looking to make some noise in the Eastern Conference.
As he enters his third year, head coach Darko Rajakovic continues to grow himself while developing his still-young team, with Barnes consistently putting up All-Star-worthy numbers, Poeltl setting career bests in point and rebounds, and both Quickly and Barrett reached career highs in points and assists.
Also making great strides were former first-round picks Gradey Dick (2023) and Ja’Kobe Walter (2024), who have all the making of rotation mainstays, while fellow youngsters Jonathan Mogbo, Ochai Agbaji, Jamal Shead, Jamison Battle, and Ulrich Chomche contributed in meaningful ways last season and should keep growing in 2025-26. In addition, recent draftee Collin Murray-Boyles has the versatility and strong defensive chops to make an immediate impact. The DNA is there for a team with similar depth and camaraderie to that of the legendary 2019 Larry O’Brien-winning squad.
General Manager Bobby Webster is building a team on the rise, with his eyes squarely on a competitive, defense-oriented crew that can show immediate — and impressive — results.
“Darko made a huge emphasis on (defence). Playing together on defence, I think is sort of infectious,” Webster said following the draft.
As the 2025-26 season approaches, this upstart team is primed to show its rapid and loyal fanbase they will use that attacking mindset to take the next steps into the playoffs.
