TORONTO SCOUTING REPORT
The Toronto Raptors recently traded versatile wing defender OG Anunoby to the New York Knicks in a package that landed them Canadian wing RJ Barrett and shot-creating guard Immanuel Quickley. Barrett was the third pick of the 2019 NBA Draft and is averaging 18.1 points per game in his fifth NBA season. Quickley was an explosive bucket-getting 6th man for the Knicks before joining the starting lineup in Toronto. He is averaging 15.5 points per game and shooting 40.1 percent from three.

Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam have been the two most productive players for the Raptors this season, with Barnes averaging 20.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists and Siakam averaging 22.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists.
