"The Raptors 905 have assembled their 13-man roster to try to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2022. With the newfound talent on this squad, that might be the expectation, and the real challenge might be winning the championship like they did in 2017. The season begins with Friday's opener against the College Park Skyhawks, and will run all the way to the end of March, potentially further if the 905 can make the aforementioned playoffs."
"Trying to lead the team to the promised land will be second-year head coach Drew Jones, after going 18-32 last season. It was a roller coaster year for Jones in his first season, starting with a 5-11 record through the Tip-Off Tournament, before flipping a switch once the regular season started. The team started the clean slate 11-4, the second-best start in franchise history and topping the Eastern Conference."
"It was a near-historic start to the regular season before an unworldly collapse, but it's a new year, and this crop is loaded with talent to help turn things around. Let's break the team down. Raptors 905 roster: Guards: Chucky Hepburn (two-way), Alijah Martin (two-way), AJ Hoggard, Jarkel Joiner, and Tyreke Key. Wings/Forwards: A.J. Lawson (two-way), David Roddy, Patrick McCaw, Quincy Guerrier, and Tyson Degenhart."
The Raptors 905 assembled a 13-man roster intent on returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2022. Second-year head coach Drew Jones enters after an 18-32 season marked by a 5-11 Tip-Off Tournament start, an 11-4 regular-season surge, then a collapse that included 17 losses in 19 games and a franchise-record 10-game losing streak. The roster features two-way guards Chucky Hepburn, Alijah Martin, and A.J. Lawson, plus wings David Roddy and Patrick McCaw and bigs Olivier Sarr and Jaden Bediako. The season opens Friday against the College Park Skyhawks and runs through March.
