The Raptors Insider piece highlights the evolving strategies of RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley under the Raptors’ coaching staff. Barrett’s recent tendency to finish drives with his right hand on the right side of the rim contrasts with his typical left-handed dominance, reminiscent of Manu Ginobili’s adaptability. This shift reflects deliberate practice encouraged by Coach Darko Rajakovic to enhance Barrett’s offensive versatility.

Similarly, Quickley’s development focuses on increased aggression driving to the rim and physical conditioning to absorb contact, leading to more frequent free throw opportunities. Assistant Coach Pat Delaney collaborates with Quickley to analyze gameplay and maximize his strengths, particularly his ability to draw fouls.
The article also discusses the potential absence of first-round draft picks for the Raptors in June due to protection clauses in previous trades. Despite uncertainties, securing veteran Garrett Temple for the upcoming season is advocated due to his leadership, rapport with young players, and on-court contributions. Temple, nearing 38, expresses readiness to continue playing, emphasizing his physical condition and enthusiasm for the game.
