Kawhi’s absence raises the stakes for Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl, whose inconsistent play leaves Toronto needing more.
Writing for Raptors Rapture, Amos Caesar Mina argues that Kawhi Leonard's recent injury setback requires Immanuel Quickley and Jakob Poeltl to step up. While players like Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett carry heavy expectations, the author contends that Quickley and Poeltl face critical pressure to elevate their performances during Leonard's upcoming absence.
Mina highlights Quickley's early-season inconsistency, including a 30.4 percent three-point shooting mark across three games. The writer also criticizes Poeltl's modest production of 3.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, noting that the Toronto Raptors need consistent defense and offense from both starters.
