#3: Toronto Raptors 

-Scottie Barnes 

-Immanuel Quickley 

-? 

Like with the Pistons, there is debate about who the 2nd and 3rd-best players on the Raptors are right now. 

I’d elect Quickley for the second spot, but who after that? RJ Barrett? Jakob Poeltl? They are similar to the Pistons in that they have one player they can build around (maybe) and a bunch of question marks. 

I’m not as high on Quickley as Ausar Thompson (not even close), so I’d give the Pistons the nod over Toronto based on that, as you can make a case for either Cunningham or Barnes being the better guy. 

We are off to a great start, as two of the teams don’t even have a clear “Big 3” but at least have some elite talent. You can’t say that about the final two.
