Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal 

Plenty have suggested that the Raptors could use a center. Currently, they don’t have a starting caliber one. With that said, Towns may not be the big they had in mind. 

Specifically, what the Raptors lack is rim protection. Towns provides very little of it – he’s one of the worst defensive big men in the league. Here’s the deal –  it doesn’t matter. 

That’s how potent Towns is on offense. He’d instantly be Toronto’s first option. With Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes supporting him, the Raptors ought to be formidable. 

Of course, the support they offer him on defense would be even more critical. If any team is built to compensate for Towns’ defensive shortcomings, it may be these Raptors.
