Raptors’ Newfound Depth Reason For Optimism

Unlike last season, when Jay Triano was forced to look down his bench and pick from fringe NBA players like Quincy Douby, Nathan Jawai, Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Patrick O’Bryant, Roko Ukic and Jake Voshul, this coming season he’ll have a lot of options at his disposal. In fact, the team is loaded with so much depth it marks one of the few times in the history of the franchise where the team is 12-deep with backups at each position that can easily step in and start if the injury bug strikes.
