It was beneficial for Young as well, of course, who is no doubt aware that he will no longer be averaging 15 points per game at this stage of his career. He does, however, still have the chance to compete for a championship while coaching the Raptors’ young players.

The Raptors signed another tall forward to their squad that fit the team’s personality. Having Otto Porter Jr.

value as a shooter and, by utilizing his long limbs, contributes defensively. It will be interesting to watch if he can maintain his motivation and health in a different environment. Remember that Porter just had a really good performance for Golden State in the previous season. Acquiring an NBA championship undoubtedly helped as well.

Porter will bring much-needed quality to the Raptors off the bench after moving up north. He is anticipated to serve as OG Anunoby’s main backup. This summer, the team’s ineffective offense and patchy defense were two major problems that needed to be fixed. Porter goes into great detail about those.

For the Golden State Warriors in the previous season, he averaged 8.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.5 assists a game. He averaged more than 22 minutes per game and started 15 out of 63 games.

His title experience will also benefit a relatively young team, even if the Toronto Raptors have complimentary players who are holdovers from their own 2019 championship. His signing is a positive move that will help Nick Nurse’s club become a contender once more.

These individuals can be added to the rotation right immediately and contribute significantly, so Ujiri should have faith in them.But going forward, the squad still needs more bulk at the center position. They also require Fred VanVleet’s backup point guard.
