The Toronto Raptors are entering a rebuilding phase after a disappointing 25-57 season, missing the playoffs. Under the guidance of coach Darko Rajakovic, the team has seen significant roster changes, with key players from their championship run now gone. The focus may shift towards improving their draft positioning for 2025.

Scottie Barnes, the 2022 NBA Rookie of the Year, remains a bright spot for the team and has shown considerable improvement, earning an All-Star nod. However, the Raptors face challenges with depth and shooting, making it difficult to secure wins against stronger opponents.
