The Raptors’ offense has been pretty putrid while 26-year old center Andrea Bargnani has been out of action due to a calf strain. He has played in 11 games (all starts) for the Raptors so far this year and he is averaging 35.2 minutes, 22.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. The Raptors have decent players to replace Bargnani but they are banger types, that don’t have much of an offensive game. With that in mind, defenses have been ganging up on DeMar DeRozan.
