NO ONE Expected This…
The Toronto Raptors acquired RJ Barrett last season with thoughts of him being a high-upside scorer for the team. However, he has shown so much more, especially as a passer. Ben Rogers breaks down the report that the team is trying to use him at the point guard position as well as some injury updates.

Pg Rj Barrett???
Still not seeing any improvements over last year's roster. I hope I can get my interest back. So far, I haven't even cared to watch the media availability interviews. Sure hope Ujiri can help me (and probably many like me) find interest again.
Ayeeee
I mean, the team is in a rebuilding stage, so I guess it doesn't hurt to develop him into a PG. But the reason why he was efficient with the Raptors last year was that he wasn't asked to create much and allowed him to play off the ball more compared to the Knicks.
We have to tank
I can’t wait for the game tomorrow. I’m kind of glad Scottie and Quick isn’t playing because I know what those guys can bring to the table. I need to see the potential in some of these newer guys.
No, it's the coach's brilliant way of getting barrett to practice his passing and court vision. His main flaw is that he gets tunnel vision on his drives to the rim.
Wait is that a young JJ Reddick in that picture behind Ben at at 6:14 😂
We need to tank, true fans will be patient and continue to watch them grow!!
RJ playing point for the bench doesn't necessarily lower back up pg minutes, just touches. Davion can still do what he does in that scenario. Will also help releave RJ as Im told he showed some actual PG skills last season if you watched him
That's rite. Give RJ more control to develop his game instead of just driving and waiting for wild open 3s.
Run him at SG all season. Raptors could easily swallow one bad Brandon Ingram or Wiggins contract rn.
One forward and we legitimately have a beast of a starting lineup.
I believe that the team will get better no matter how this year plays out they will be together for the next few years. It would benefit from post season play at the same time the in season tournaments will be a good indicator of what needs to be done for a playoff push.
Ben. You’re doing a great job. Keep it up. Trust in Masai. Not Rogers😂
Another reason why this coach will be fired by game 10. He’s just winging it.
we may not be championship contenders this year but we can only get better
Typical Canadian fan base give hope to the fans get them fired up and going then fall in love with the players that won’t do anything during the season … make 50 videos blaming Darko thats my prediction Darko gets fired back to making loop videos until next coach gets fired while Rogars make money Canadian 🐑 mentality
Toronto definitely has a team that could get up to 100 points a game. They are young and fast. They might as well YOLO this season. I think they are going to surprise people.
wtf was that ramble about
This team has the potential to be fun as hell, but it could crash out and burn too
I don't have much faith in this coach
Fans saying all those negative comments about RJ Barrant are basketheads.
Im actually happy as a raptors fan because at least were going in a direction and not just getting the meaningless 10 seed. I want a good pick for once
If RJ barrett can play pg … he played it his whole life … we got lucky n knicks will feel it this year …
