Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
No, not exactly. As a matter of fact, LaVine is not the perfect replacement for VanVleet. His floor vision isn’t as good as VanVleet’s. Meanwhile, he’s not nearly as impactful on defense, either.
The thing is, with that said, he might actually be a better fit for this Raptors team in the long run. At the end of the day, LaVine is a much better scorer in both half-court sets as well as in transition.
Aren’t the Raptors really in need of that kind of help? Over the last couple of seasons, this team has struggled to generate buckets for the most part.
There is no doubt that losing Anunoby hurts. On the other hand, with Pascal Siakam and Scottie Barnes on the roster, the Raptors are enough.
