Raptors could maximize RJ Barrett by experimenting with a second unit role

Chris Lambert of Raptors Rapture argues that the Toronto Raptors should experiment with playing RJ Barrett alongside the second unit to maximize his skill set. Rather than bringing Barrett off the bench, Lambert suggests head coach Darko Rajakovic sub him out early in quarters and reinsert him to run the offense with reserve players.

Lambert contends that Barrett excels with the ball in his hands but faces reduced on-ball opportunities alongside Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes. Staggering Barrett's minutes would provide Toronto's bench with a primary shot creator, balancing touches while still keeping him in the starting lineup.
