Expects to have healthy offseason
Barnes added that he doesn't expect to be limited during the offseason, so he appears firmly on track to lead the Raptors in 2024-25. The 2021 No. 4 overall pick was in the midst of a breakout campaign before breaking his left hand in early March. Across 60 appearances, Barnes averaged 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.7 threes per game -- all career highs. He's eligible for a rookie scale contract extension this fall.

Impressive off bench Sunday
Nwora saw regular minutes for the Raptors off the bench since the beginning of March, and while his playing time was not enough to make him a viable fantasy alternative across all formats, he certainly tried to make the most of his minutes whenever his name was called upon duty. Nwora scored in double digits in 12 of his 22 appearances from March 1 onward, including five of his last eight.

Close to double-double in loss
Olynyk finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double in the season finale, and while his all-around ability was noticeable regardless of whether he was starting or coming off the bench, he only posted six double-doubles all season long. Olynyk ended the 2023-24 campaign on a strong scoring note, however, putting up double-digit points in 10 of his last 11 appearances.
