Raptors’ Wish List: Raptors acquire Jonas Valanciunas
One of the biggest areas of need is Toronto’s need for a backup big. Last win against Miami hid the fact that when Jakob Poeltl is out, Toronto is all out of size at the centre position and usually gets dominated on the glass, but with the return of an old fan favourite, Jonas Valanciunas, those troubles could easily be forgotten about.
Why Valanciunas? Well, for one, Toronto desperately needs a centre outside of Poeltl that is over 6 feet 9 inches, as both Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jonathan Mogbo list at 6’9″.
