21st in points per game. which is an improvement. Last season we were 29th.

but we are last in FG% at 39.7%. last season it was 46% (15th).

Let’s look at what Nick Nurse is doing with his bench this season.

last in the league in points per game. FG% of 44.3% (22nd in the league).

You can say we are prioritizing development. which is true.

but this season our bench is at 89.9 minutes per game (total of bench players minutes). that puts us at 11th. which is interesting because several developing teams play their bench less than the raptors do:

blazers: 88.4

hornets: 84.3

pistons: 83.4

rockets: 80.7

imo Achiuwa (19.8 mpg), McDaniels (9.1 mpg), Dick (15.1 mpg) should have to earn their minutes (which so far they are not).

our whole starting 5 should play a couple more minutes than they currently do.
