The Toronto Raptors are once again trying to blend their collection of hungry veteran players with multiple young players attempting to find their way in the pros. This will lead to All-NBA forward Pascal Siakam and 2023 rookie first-round pick Gradey Dick sharing the floor for heavy minutes.
These two parties need to find some way to develop some sort of rapport. With Dick likely to be on the receiving end of multiple kick-out passes after Pascal drives to the rim, these two need to make sure they are on the same wavelength on the court.
The Rico Hines runs, which featured almost the entire Raptors roster at various points despite the fact Hines left the team following Nick Nurse’s firing, are the perfect place for these two to start working on their relationship. Based on how they performed, the regular season will be the start of a beautiful partnership between the two.
