TORONTO — Head coach Darko Rajakovic is putting on his foreman's helmet as the Toronto Raptors lean into developing their young core this season.
"A lot of the time, from the street, you cannot see what's going on. You cannot see the results very quickly. But those are the most important steps we're going to be making right now." Toronto also restocked its depth, making trades during the NBA Draft to bring in four young prospects: Ja'Kobe Walter , Jonathan Mogbo , Jamal Shead and Ulrich Chomche .
"The most important thing is going to be not skipping any steps. If we need to stick a little bit longer for some teaching and some implementation of stuff, we're going to stick on that until we really get to the level that we believe it's time to make the next step for the team." Barnes wasn't concerned with striking a balance between development and winning, since he was committed to trusting his coach's process.
Barrett and Quickley were traded from New York to Toronto on Dec. 30. Because the Knicks were on the road when the deal was finalized both players had most of their clothes back in New York, making their personal lives a logistical tangle while they had to try and get up to speed on the Raptors' on-court systems.
