"We still have just over a month and some change before the Raptors suit up again for a critical, yet still very much experimental 2025-26 season. With that comes a ton of questions about how well they will perform, considering the new-look team, ownership seemingly applying pressure, and GM Bobby Webster fully entrusted as Toronto's top boss. Some outlets, like ESPN which I highlighted a couple of pieces back,"
"And adding substance to this point, Hughes mentions the addition of Brandon Ingram, who, while still somewhat uncertain - since no one quite knows his ceiling or impact as a team's primary option -remains an All-Star caliber talent in his prime, and that can't be ignored. Is Brandon Ingram not getting the recognition he deserves? While Ingram was limited to only 18 games played in the 2024-25 season, choosing to nurse his ankle injury after joining Toronto at the deadline"
The Raptors approach a pivotal, experimental 2025-26 season with questions about performance after a new-look roster, perceived ownership pressure, and GM Bobby Webster assuming full control. Some outlets predict a fall into Eastern Conference mediocrity and a potential playoff miss. Bleacher Report lists Toronto among the teams most likely to improve, highlighting the acquisition of Brandon Ingram. Ingram remains somewhat uncertain as a primary option but is an All-Star-caliber player in his prime. He played only 18 games in 2024-25 while nursing an ankle and dramatically increased his three-point attempts to 6.4 per game, making perimeter shooting a coaching priority.
