"No, the Toronto Raptors have lots to figure out.Even NBA intellectual extraordinaire, Zach Lowe, on his latest podcast with John Hollinger, proclaimed Toronto as one of the most confusing NBA teams heading into the season. Rightfully so. All the way down the roster there remain questions about fit, roles, rotations, long-term vision, you name it. General Manager, Bobby Webster, might claim to know the answers to those questions; so, too, might head coach, Darko Rajaković. But from the outside looking in, it's all opaque."
"That might sound like the platitudes of every coach ever. To suggest otherwise would mean you might not be coaching all that well. Or, that you're begging for mutiny. Players don't have to like each other for a team to excel - let alone love each other. But a coach, certainly, isn't going to let on that there's malcontent or discord either. That's not the case here. There's no way to conceal this team's radiance. What Darko is saying can't be denied."
The Toronto Raptors opened preseason with an exhibition against the veteran Denver Nuggets amid intense curiosity. The roster remains young and uncertain, prompting questions about fit, roles, rotations, and long-term vision. Leadership figures may claim clarity, but the external view sees opacity. Coach Darko Rajaković describes the group as fighters with exceptional chemistry, consistent competition in practice, and mutual support. That chemistry appears genuine and visible to observers. The team's palpable vibe and internal competitiveness stand out as a clear, defining element even as many other aspects remain to be determined.
