NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Raptors

The Raptors will have to upgrade their play from last season. While they have a squad with a lot of potentials and are made up of players that know their roles well, depth has been an issue for the team. Fred Van Vleet and Gary Trent are hustle players in the backcourt and with Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, and OG Anunoby can all play terrific defense, so it is clear that the team is tight-knit on defense. However, the trouble has been on the offensive end as the players were too tired last season because of the lack of bench depth which led them to play a lot of minutes. While Otto Porter Jr. is a great pick-up, what about the back-up guard position?

Celtics

The Celtics were the best defensive team during the last season and they have built a team that can switch well with elite defenders like Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Al Horford, they will be up for another gritty season. Malcolm Brogdon, Derrick White, Blake Griffin, Payton Pritchard, and Grant Williams make for amazing depth and can help the team pull through in the absence of Robert Williams, who was terrorizing players both in the switch and one-on-one situations. The offense is also full of shot-creators and players that can shoot from multiple areas.
