Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Believe it or not, Hartenstein might be the main draw for the Raptors here. 

After all, they could use a starting-caliber big man. In 2021-22, the Raptors typically ran Pascal Siakam at the 5. In doing so, they played multiple playmaking, and defensive wings at one time on a regular basis throughout the year. 

Still, landing Hartenstein doesn’t disallow them from running such lineups. It simply gives them options. In 2021-22, Hartenstein emerged as the type of player the Raptors were missing. He’s a high-end rim protector who can also survive switches. Moreover, Head Coach Nick Nurse is likely to fall in love with his passing touch as well. 

Meanwhile, Cam Reddish has failed to live up to his potential so far, but at 22, we shouldn’t rule out the possibility that he might. If he does, he’d net the Raptors a perfect Anunoby replacement as a 3-and-D wing who provides some secondary shot creation to boot.
