Training Camp Recap - Day 2

Matt Tierney - Raptors.com

After a long two-practice day to begin training camp, the Raptors were relieved to know they had time to breathe with only a morning session today. But, another two-practice day awa‎its on Thursday.

New faces were the focus of Day 2. Here's what we learned…

Leadership

The Raptors already have leaders on their team in DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, but another is emerging in free-agent acquisition DeMarre Carroll.

While everyone knows this team is skilled offensively, Carroll knows it's his job to lead on the defensive end, "It's about getting back to the basics, understanding that defence is an important part of the game and that's something we really have to perfect."
