Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
The Raptors may not need O.G. Anunoby. That’s the central point here.
After all, they are stacked with big, playmaking wings as is. With Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes representing their present and future, Anunoby will never be more than a third banana on this roster.
By contrast, they could use a big man. Davis would be a perfect addition to this roster. By slotting Siakam back down to the 4 and Barnes to the 3, the Raptors could have the most dominant frontcourt in the NBA.
Granted, the spacing would be suboptimal. Still, it would be passable. None of these guys is an elite shooter, but they’re all willing enough. On the other hand – dear God, the defense.
