The Raps look pretty good. GM Masai Ujiri did a tremendous job this summer keeping the team intact while adding players at key positions (namely James Johnson as a perimeter defender and several new bigs to help defend the post). The Raps are 2-1 so far having won their first two games before succumbing to a red-hot Heat by only a few points. DeMar DeRozan has shown improvement posting-up smaller guards, a skill he honed this summer with Hakeem Olajuwon. Jonas Valancuinas looks like he's going to have another good season and of course Kyle Lowry has been good as well--to think he got paid so much less than the likes of Klay Thompson this summer!
