What looked on paper like a monster mismatch turned out to be a pretty good basketball game on a frigid Friday night in downtown Toronto.
Rookies Freeman-Liberty and Dick started alongside veterans Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown and second-year swingman Agbaji . They all showed well, each scoring at least 10 points. Looking for a silver lining to the tough situation, Rajakovic said it would give the Raptors a chance to evaluate a number of players who otherwise probably wouldn’t be playing much. “To see them succeed and fail and learn and get better, and for us to evaluate what’s the next step with the team and the roster. And also, what’s the next step for our guys — player development wise,” he said.
Cason Wallace, a guard the Raptors had heavy interest in last summer, before he went 10th overall, three spots ahead of Dick, hit consecutive three-pointers early in the second quarter, to give Oklahoma City its first lead of the game. It was one they’d never relinquish.
