Darko Rajakovic’s Jamison Battle assessment bodes well for Raptors’ 3-point leap

Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic praised forward Jamison Battle's defensive growth during the team's media day. Rajakovic noted that Battle improved significantly over the summer, which could help him earn a more substantial spot in the rotation for the upcoming season.

Battle shot 40.5% from 3-point range as a rookie and 41.2% last season, including a 4-for-4 shooting performance in Game 3 of the playoffs. The Raptors are looking to enhance their outside shooting following a trade that brought in Kawhi Leonard while departing Brandon Ingram.
