Toronto Raptors: 3 biggest focus points for training camp

2. Performance of non-guaranteed players.

The Raptors have six players with no or partial conditional guarantees currently fighting for space on the roster. 2020-21 holdovers Yuta Watanabe and Freddie Gillespie will compete with European imports Ishmail Wainright and Sam Dekker in addition to NBA free agents like Reggie Perry and Isaac Bonga.

Training camp will essentially be an audition for these players, as Toronto will fill out the end of their bench in large part thanks to the performances they see in the next couple of weeks. Everyone has their opinion on who should be included on this final roster, but it may ultimately come down to how many different traits each player can provide.

Which non-guaranteed players will make the Toronto Raptors roster?

If Nurse and Ujiri want a perimeter defender, Watanabe and Bonga are the men for the job. Size in the post could help out Wainright, Gillespie, and Perry. Dekker is the wild card, as he is a bit of an unknown quantity after years overseas.

As Watanabe proved last year, injuries and ineffective play in the rotation could force a player at the end of the bench to hear their name called. The Raptors will get every single bit of relevant data possible when it comes to picking the best players for this roster, but picking the wrong players could have an adverse impact on the overall records.
