Masai Ujiri, Toronto Raptors' team president, has a unique vision for team composition, which he dubbed 'Vision 6-9.' Influenced by a 2010 practice leading to a focus on larger players with extensive ball skills, Ujiri aimed to enhance versatility on both offense and defense. However, his approach led to an overabundance of players around 6-foot-9, creating challenges in the actual versatility of the lineups. While Ujiri's strategy initially demonstrated promise, it has raised questions about its long-term effectiveness and adaptability in an evolving game.
Assembling a championship team led Ujiri to adopt 'Vision 6-9,' consciously seeking versatile players, but this obsession has created significant tactical challenges.
Ujiri's vision of having longer players with ball-handling skills has shaped his strategies, yet it has also led to a blind spot in player versatility.
