As part of these 30 previews in 30 days, we are talking to you about the 30 NBA franchises… in 30 days, no kidding. And as part of this 100% upstream analysis month, we also remind you that this year again the TrashTalk Fantasy League will resume its rights for a new season. The opportunity between two big files to give you the trends for each franchise, and today we’re talking about the Toronto Raptors!
What is the TrashTalk Fantasy League? Rules and explanations for playing TTFL, the best basketball game in the galaxy
#The good plans announced
When you look at this Raptors squad, one name stands out, that of Pascal I’m sorry. 37.4 TTFL points on average last season is high, very high. And Pascal is a complete, solid and above all, regular player. To win in TTFL you have to know how to take risks but sometimes playing it safe can be the right strategy. There, in terms of security, we have one that arises. Well, a bad day can always happen but Pascal Siakam is almost all-risk insurance, the minimum 30 TTFL points when things are going average, and it can be nice to rely on him. Behind, there are frankly not many people but we would bet on a small Scottie Barnes for its second season. 15.3 points on average per game for a rookie is very strong and we can imagine that he will still progress. Small mention also for Drake or rather Fred VanVleetquite regular if you want to play it safe. For others, we do not recommend.
#The dreaded carrots
All NBA players follow the TTFL as we know, none want to see their name in this section but unfortunately for some you have to go through it. so sorry Gary Trent Jr., but today it’s your team and therefore your turn. Well yes, we slam 42 points against Houston one night and then 11 against Denver two days later, it does not help to create a relationship of trust. Side O.G. Anunoby the problem is a little different: despite some good performances that could make you want to, he did not show us that he could take us to the roof of the world, towards the consecration of a life, winning the TTFL. So why would we click on him when we can do so much better? Well, we could name others that won’t make us win, but we can’t really call Chris Boucher a corer since he never promised us anything. We, on the other hand, promise never to choose it.
#Top three team averages last season
- Pascal Siakam : 37.4 points
- Fred VanVleet : 28 points
- AND Anunoby: 23.5 points
So much for the TTFL house version Raptors advice, and we prefer not to remind you of the Team TrashTalk ranking last year. Assume that we know what we are talking about, it will be better for everyone.
