No. 24: Toronto Raptors

The Raptors look strong right now, but there are too many questions around this team. Dwane Casey has been on the hot seat for about three years now, but has yet to be fired. That kind of tenuous position can’t be good for the Raptors in the long-term.

The Raptors have some intriguing pieces right now, but aside from Jonas Valanciunas and potentially DeMar DeRozan none of their players seem set to remain both in Toronto and be productive. There’s no superstar here — DeRozan is explosive, but seems like more of a second-best player on a contender than a top dog himself.

Unless the Raptors shake things up in a huge way soon, they won’t be able to accomplish much going forward. Their core wasn’t able to accomplish much of anything in the playoffs last season, and adding a rotation player here or there won’t change that by 2020.
