  • Small forward position

    What can we do for the 3 right now? We don't really have another 3 on the roster with both JJ and DC going down. Do we trade for one or can we figure out how to use our own guys to hold down the fort? I think it will be easy to see after these next couple of games what we need to do.

    We shouldn't do a panic trade. Use Ross, Powell and DeMar for now, more 2-PG lineups. We should be ok.

      I think the defence could potentially take a pretty big hit. That's what I'm mostly worried about.

        Ross and Joseph are both really solid defenders(and honestly, JJ's defensive numbers this season kinda suck). So more Ross/Joseph shouldn't hurt us.

          JJ won't be out long, and we have wing depth even if they are smaller wings. We'll be fine.

            Norm is a really good defender too. I just hope we don't have a defensive collapse and turn into last years team trying to out score everyone.

              Was it a normal sprain or a high ankle sprain?

                It didn't look like he turned it over that bad.

                  Can they just start Bruno and immediately take him off lol? I just want to see the crowd go nuts for him.

                    Raptors have 15 guys on the roster.. if they had 14 they could get some d-leaguer or a vet not playing right now. But unfortunately Masai's hands are tied. Trades are too difficult and probably unnecessary for such a small time frame.

                    In the meantime they platoon the position with Ross/DD/Powell and even some Bruno (although I doubt Casey would use him).

                    This is actually why I was worried about trading JJ at the deadline for a PF. Lose important depth at a position of need.

                      I mean its what, three games till all star break, we should be fine. If we want to look for a trade, it could be nice to have more powell playing to show him off. I dont think it would hurt his trade value, but could certainly help it.

                        yea I wouldn't panic with SF trades...how bout giving Bennett some minutes & opportunity (his per 36 in a very smalll sample size so far is 12pts/11rbs)....Ross is more valuable with the 2nd unit, Powell is a natural SG and as we saw yesterday...he's not quite ready for spot starter duties yet...if JJ is out till after ASG (3 more games) I hope Casey gives Bennett some chances so at least we can see who the AB without "lottery bust" label pressure, extra weight, health issues etc really is
