Grading every Toronto Raptors player after turbulent 2022-23 season
By Mike Luciano
Wings
OG Anunoby: B+
Scottie Barnes: B
Ron Harper: B-
Thad Young: C
Joe Wieskamp: D-
Otto Porter Jr: Incomplete
Anunobt may not have been the most dominant player ever on the offensive side, but it’s hard to find too much fault in someone that led the league in steals per game and played so well defensively in areas that the box score doesn’t capture. The trade rumors are still there, but he is still a valuable Raptor.
Barnes failed to take some of the steps forward as a scorer may expected, but he was still a rock-solid starter and an improved playmaker. The front office may be less lenient next season, but Barnes has enough high points to call this year a general success.
Scottie Barnes was up and down for the Toronto Raptors.
Young completely fell out of the rotation this season, showing that his time in the NBA might be coming to a close. Porter had some nice moments when his unique style and 3-point shot were on the floor, but it’s hard to judge him accurately due to his injury problems.
Harper is in much the same boat, though he flashed enough to where Toronto will likely feel comfortable retaining him for yet another season. Wieskamp, however, looked so out of place at times that his multi-year contract looks even more puzzling by the day.
