Longtime Raptor is realizing he made a grave mistake signing with new team

"As the Raptors' entire roster turned over in the years following their 2019 title, one mainstay on the bench was Chris Boucher. The onetime Oregon big man played a very small role on the title team, but in the years since he developed into a solid backup big with his skillset of shooting and shot-blocking. In all, he played 406 games across seven seasons for Toronto."

"This past summer, as his contract expired, the Raptors elected not to bring Boucher back. That sent him out into the bright world of free agency to find his own way. When it was announced that he signed a minimum contract to join the Boston Celtics it was seen as a good choice. Boucher was a big man. The Celtics had a massive need for bigs after losing Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford. Round peg, round hole."

"The reality, unfortunately, has been the exact opposite. For all that the Celtics do need to find their center of the future, the clear answer is that Boucher is going to play no part in answering that need. Playing on a roster whose center rotation is made up of Neemias Queta and Luka Garza -- Robert Parrish and Bill Walton they are not -- Boucher cannot even crack the rotation"

Chris Boucher spent seven seasons in Toronto, appearing in 406 games and developing into a backup big known for shooting and shot-blocking. The Raptors declined to re-sign him, and he signed a minimum contract with Boston, which lost Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford and needed size. Expectations of a natural fit have not materialized. Boucher has played eight games, averaging 11.4 minutes and taking fewer than three shots per contest, shooting 7-for-22 (31.8%) with one made three of 12 attempts. He remains active defensively but lacks rebounding and playmaking, and he cannot crack the Celtics' center rotation.
