Centre Jakob Poeltl stepped up with six points in a 9-3 run to re-establish Toronto's lead.
If the Raptors HAD dealt (plus one of Pascal, O.G. or Fred) for Durant and also pulled off the trade, that team with Kevin Durant, Poeltl plus two of Pascal, might’ve been good enough to get past the play-in.
“I think we are all aware that this is a learning season for us,” Poeltl said.
"I think we're going to go even higher than a top-10-type defence," Poeltl said.
Like Poeltl, there’s also a silhouette feature for players who get stumped.
Poeltl said there was a personal reason he chose No. 19, but he elected to keep that to himself.
Poeltl was one of the most-wanted centers on the market in this trade season.
Toronto has sent Khem Birch, a protected 2024 first-round pick and two future second-round picks to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Jakob Poeltl, according to multiple media reports.
"We've just got so many guys out there that have great length, that have great athleticism, so we can really make it tough on teams to get into the paint," said Poeltl, who went 15 of 17 on field-goal attempts.
"We've just got to figure out a way to enjoy playing together through the ups and downs," said Poeltl.
