Toronto Raptors: Biggest strengths and weaknesses for 2017-18

Strength No. 2: Scoring

Despite leaning heavily on isolation basketball, the Toronto Raptors can score with the best of ’em.

Toronto averaged 106.9 points a game last season, good enough for 10th in the league. The Raptors don’t shoot a ton of 3-pointers, but they excel at the free throw line. They made the third most free throws per game, converting at a 79.6 percent rate (eighth in the NBA).

The Raptors grab extra possessions by securing 10.6 offensive rebounds per game, finishing 12th in the league. The Raptors are also fourth in the NBA in turnovers, surrendering the ball just 12.7 times per contest.

DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry will look to improve on their career-high scoring averages from last season and C.J. Miles’ presence should allow for more driving lanes. The Raptors should maintain or increase their scoring output as Dwane Casey gives more prioritization to ball movement and floor spacing.
