Darko Rajakovic continues to be under consideration for the Raptors job alongside Sergio Scariolo and Kenny Atkinson. Those three candidates appear to have gained separation from Sacramento Kings associate head coach Jordi Fernández.

Really have to wonder what Jordi said that caused him to fall behind. Everything he’s said in public interviews has come off extremely well. Sad.
I doubt Sergio is there for much else but respect for his coaching pedigree and history with the Raptors. They’re not going to treat him like other candidates. They likely fast tracked him to the “finals” as a friendly gesture. But in reality, it’s probably between Rajakovic and Atkinson.
Kenny Atkinson would be nice
I’ve come to like Darko the best of these supposed candidates. I’m coming around on Sergio, though.
I’m sad to see Jordi fall out but there has to be a concrete reason for that. He was initially my prediction for their next head coach.
A part of me still thinks they’re waiting on Adelman and Quinn but the Finals may drag on too long.
Hoping for Kenny
Out of these guys I like Kenny best. Hope it’s him.
No shots at Jordi but people just latched their hopes of Houston-ing onto him because he’s young.
