3 Who flashed and 3 who crashed in Raptors embarrassing loss to the Wizards

Jonathan Mogbo Crashed

When rookie second-round forward Jonathan Mogbo steps onto the court, he tends to collect things -- points, steals, blocks and especially rebounds. On Friday night he had five points, six reboudns, two assists, two steals and a block. That sounds like he had a productive all-around game in his 19 minutes.

The problem is that he cannot score; his shot looks broken (0-for-1 against the Wizards, both poor accuracy and low volume) and he doesn't yet have the physicality to win inside to score. NBA defenders, even on a team like the Wizards, are lightyears ahead of the WCC he faced back in college. He is active on defense but not necessarily helpful, and it all combined for Mogbo to have a -15 plus-minus, the worst on the team. He has a long ways to go.

Chris Boucher Flashed

Heading into training camp, my voice was one of the many suggesting that Chris Boucher didn't have a role on the team. Even with the Raptors' lack of depth at both center and power forward, the combination of Boucher's decline over the past few seasons and his season-ending injury this spring, it seemed like Boucher would have little to offer.

Thus far in the preseason we have all been proven wrong. After a strong performance in his native province on Sunday, Boucher followed up with the best performance on the team Friday night. He dropped 22 points and seven rebounds, shooting 7-for-10 from the floor and a whopping 3-for-4 from long-range, 42 percent of the entire team's makes from deep.

Add in a 5-for-5 line from the free-throw line, a staggering number of attempts as well as makes, and you get something bordering on a career night from Boucher. He only ever scored more than 22 points 12 times in his entire career, and always in at least 28 minutes of playing time; Boucher played just 18 on Friday night. It was an extremely impressive performance.
