Raptors' Starting Lineup Conundrum

The Toronto Raptors are still experimenting with their starting lineup, seeking the right combinations to succeed this season.

Head Coach Darko Rajakovic is aware of the challenge, and with the preseason halfway over, the team has yet to showcase its full starting lineup.

There have been promising glimpses, such as the connection between Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley and Scottie Barnes working together in pick-and-rolls.

However, the absence of Jakob Poeltl has left fans imagining what the complete lineup would look like.

Developing chemistry within the starting group is crucial for the team to reach its full potential, as last year's starters had a net rating of -9.2 in just eight games.

The Raptors' rotation, once fully healthy, will be just as important as the starting group.
