"Rajakovic explained that going into the next season, minutes would not be allocated based on a fixed group of players. Instead, players must be ready at all times to earn their playing time. While this may be concerning for some, Rajakovic also offered an optimistic view. He said that every player on the roster should expect opportunities to make an impact, especially considering the talent depth across the full 15-man lineup."
"Based on practice jersey colour, the Raptors starters, in black are - as has been widely projected - Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Ingram and Barnes. More intriguingly, the second unit (wearing grey) would appear to be Jamal Shead, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Murray-Boyles. That leaves the likes of Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamison Battle, and Jonathan Mogbo - who averaged 21.2, 20.4 and 17.7 minutes per game last season, respectively - battling for opportunities behind those five."
Darko Rajakovic stated that minutes will not be allocated to a fixed group and that players must be ready at all times to earn playing time. Every roster member should expect opportunities to make an impact given the talent depth across the 15-man roster. Practice-jersey groupings show projected starters Poeltl, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Ingram and Barnes, with a second unit of Jamal Shead, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji and Murray-Boyles. That alignment pushes Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo into battles for minutes off the bench. A notable internal contest will be between Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter for second-unit minutes, with Walter showing quickness and early perimeter scoring in scrimmage stints.
