Yuta Watanabe Carries The Raptors
3 years agoToronto Raptors forward Yuta Watanabe produced the best game of his career on Sunday, going for 26 points and 13 rebounds in a blowout loss to Cleveland. He bagged an assist with one steal and one block as well, shooting 11-for-20 from the field and 2-for-3 from deep. Watanabe was part of the starting unit and logged a team-high 37 minutes. The Raptors roster is looking completely different to the one we're used to seeing, with half of their eight-man rotation made up of players on hardship contracts. It's an awful situation for the team, but it's given players like Watanabe a platform to perform.
