Scottie Barnes: B+
OG Anunoby: B
Thad Young: C+
Juancho Hernangomez: D
Otto Porter Jr: F
Joe Wieskamp: N/A
Ron Harper Jr: N/A
Barnes’ season may not have been the gigantic leap forward that Raptors fans wanted, but it’s foolish to claim that he hasn’t improved. A terrific passer and playmaker, Barnes needs to maintain an aggressive style of basketball if he wants to get his scoring numbers pumped up.
Anunoby is becoming one of the most bipolar players in the league. In one game, he’ll look like the second coming of Scottie Pippen. In the next, he will turn the ball over regularly on offense while putting up some pitiful scoring numbers. Finding balance on offense will be key to getting the Raptors into the postseason.
Scottie Barnes has shown flashes for the Toronto Raptors.
Young can still be an effective player, but Toronto using him as a pseudo-center off the bench is just not the right fit for him. It has negatively affected his play. Hernangomez has been a disappointment, as a player who was signed to shoot has been below average from deep this season.
Through no fault of his own, Porter has been a failure after a season-ending injury that limited him to just a handful of games. While neither Wieskamp or Harper has played enough to warrant greater consideration, they have both shown flashes of great play.
