THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris YoungGary Trent Jr., doesn't know what his role will be on the Raptors this season.
Trent started most of last season, but came off the bench 10 consecutive games in March before missing seven games with right elbow stiffness. He was with the secondary unit in his first two games back, but started for Toronto in its season finale against the Milwaukee Bucks. "The writing's on the wall, so we'll just continue to go, come in, help and help to win as much as I can.""I see Gary taking a leadership role every time he touches the floor," said Rajakovic on the hard court at OVO Athletic Centre, the Raptors' training facility. "My expectations for him starting, not starting, are very high on both ends of the floor."
Rajakovic, who became the Raptors 10th head coach just seven days before Trent exercised his option, said he would not make any decisions based off of anyone's contract situation.
