Head coach Darko Rajakovic emphasizes the Toronto Raptors' commitment to developing their young talent as they enter a rebuilding phase. Team president Masai Ujiri has officially labeled this season a rebuild, marking a departure from previous terminology.

Rajakovic likens the process to constructing a house, focusing on foundational work before visible results can be seen. The Raptors have made significant roster changes, trading key players and acquiring young prospects during the NBA Draft.

Despite a challenging previous season, Rajakovic and the players are focused on growth and improvement, with a commitment to not rush the development process. The Raptors will hold their training camp in Montreal, marking a new chapter for the team.
