Toronto Raptors: 3 Free Agent shooting guards that could replace Terence Davis
By Joseph Zita
1. Bogdan Bogdanovic – 28 years old – SG/SF
2019-20 stats – 61 GP – 15.1 PPG – 3.4 RPG – 3.4 APG – .440 FG% – .372 3P% – .741 FT%
Career stats – 209 GP – 13.5 PPG – 3.2 RPG – 3.5 APG – .434 FG% – .374 3P% – .806 FT%
At my number one and final spot of three shooting guards that could possibly replace Terence Davis if the Toronto Raptors do indeed decide to part ways with their rookie, is Bogdan Bogdanovic. Out of all three players I have listed in this article I think it’s safe to say Bogdanovic may be the clear cut best choice, but he’ll also be the most expensive one too so it all depends on how much money the Raptors would want to spend especially if they’re focusing on 2021 free agency.
Bogdanovic has only been in the league for three years now, however, he has been improving every year since entering. Averaging 15.1/3.4/3.4 this season while shooting well from the floor as well playing great defense of the ball is what every team in the league would want on their team.
Along with his offensive numbers, he also averaged a great 1.0 SPG and a 2.1 DPG which is both higher than the two other players I mentioned in this article. Like I said about Bogdanovic being the clear-cut best choice here for the Toronto Raptors it also comes down to money and if both sides come to an agreement.
He averaged 29 minutes a night this past season in Sacramento so I don’t know if he will be coming off the bench in Toronto due to the limited bodies that naturally play shooting guard. VanVleet, however, does play shooting guard whenever he and Lowry are on the court together, and Powell also plays the two as well, however, if Bogdanovic doesn’t come off the bench and starts with those minutes like in Sacramento then I can see him and Powell split minutes somewhat evenly the same way Ibaka and Gasol did these last two seasons.

Who do you think the Toronto Raptors should target if they do indeed decide to part ways with their rookie Terence Davis? Is it any one of the three I mentioned in Alec Burks, Avery Bradley, and or Bogdan Bogdanovic, or is it someone else?
