"That tagline, " Balanced attack," is exactly the way to put it. Balanced attack 🔥The @raptors are currently the ONLY team that has 3 players averaging over 20+ PPG! pic.twitter.com/IEjj87iW7e- NBA Canada (@NBACanada) November 5, 2025 For a while, the common belief was that the "BBQ" trio - referring to the initials of young stars RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, and Immanuel Quickley - would take the mantle in Toronto. But that sentiment largely shifted when the Raptors acquired Brandon Ingram."
"The brilliance of Ingram as an offensive ceiling raiser is undeniable; he is one of the league's premier mid-range specialists and a versatile scorer. Heading into the season, I had my reservations about how well Ingram could integrate into the Raptors system, particularly alongside his two wing counterparts. However, through the first eight games, they have already demonstrated an ability to share the ball effectively and ensure that each player has opportunities to showcase their skills"
Reactions to the Raptors' competitiveness and playoff prospects vary, but the team clearly possesses significant offensive firepower. The defense has looked suspect at times, yet the roster contains enough talent to offset defensive shortcomings. RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, and Brandon Ingram have emerged as a trio each averaging over 20 points per game, making Toronto the only NBA team with three 20+ PPG scorers. Early-season ball movement has allowed those players to share opportunities and showcase their skills. The Ingram acquisition raised Toronto's offensive ceiling and makes the trio a promising asset for the season ahead.
