2. Power forward depth

Other than center, the Raptors certainly have viable depth options at every position. If the plan is a deep postseason run tough, the Raptors would be smart to get some forward depth and ideally a larger power forward behind Pascal Siakam.

Stanley Johnson and Yuta Watanabe have both been reliable options off of the bench this season and have shown growth throughout the early campaign. When it comes to playoff time though and probable series against big teams like the Bucks and 76ers, the Raptors would be happy to have a big and experienced PF coming off the bench.

The Raptors could improve the depth at the forward position

A guy like Thaddeus Young would be a massive boost for the Toronto Raptors. Just a big dude who can get it done at both ends of the floor and is playing some terrific basketball for the Chicago Bulls right now. Harrison Barnes is a fun option too if the Raptors are looking for some pop off the bench.

If they decided to go big game hunting at the position – the Atlanta Hawks are apparently willing to listen on John Collins. Adding the young and dynamic Collins to the Raptors youthful core would be unbelievably exciting.
