Has Chris Boucher Overstayed His Welcome?
Briefly

Chris Boucher, a fan favorite from the 2019 Raptors championship team, faces an uncertain future with his contract expiring. He had consistent playing time under Coach Darko Rajakovic but struggled offensively, remaining an impactful player early in both seasons. On the community front, he was a finalist for the NBA Social Justice Champion award for his philanthropic efforts with the SlimmDuck foundation. While his statistics improved in November, they peaked early in the season, raising questions about his potential return to the team as his contract expires this offseason.
Before we get into his play, let's talk about what Montreal's finest was able to do off the court this season. Just over a week ago, Chris Boucher was named as a finalist for the NBA Social Justice Champion award for his efforts to help out Toronto and Montreal's communities with his SlimmDuck foundation, which he founded in October 2022.
Boucher played the exact same number of games in the last two seasons under new head Coach Darko Rajakovic and honestly had two similar seasons.
He struggled to find his rhythm offensively early on, but those are solid numbers for just over 17 minutes.
In the first full month of the regular season, Boucher saw upticks in most of the categories discussed during his first month, as he was given 18.7 minutes per night in November.
