New internal roster battle should only shake up the Raptors’ outlook for next season

The Toronto Raptors are evaluating their internal competition ahead of the upcoming season under head coach Darko Rajakovic. The team is expected to be led by the primary tandem of Kawhi Leonard and Scottie Barnes, while players like Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Jakob Poeltl remain central to the squad.

Young contributors Ja’Kobe Walter, Collin Murray-Boyles, and Jamal Shead are anticipated to secure recurring lineup roles. Walter previously earned extended playing time over Gradey Dick, who was later traded to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the Kawhi Leonard deal.
