Who’s new: DeMarre Carroll, Bismack Biyombo, Cory Joseph, Luis Scola
Offseason review: A strong offseason for the Raptors saw them add one of the most versatile wings in the NBA (Carroll) and a back-up point guard (Joseph) who fits their scheme better than Williams or Vasquez ever did (and, as a plus, is a native of Toronto). The Raptors wanted to rediscover their gritty identity, and both of those players will help.
Grade: B+
2015-16 season outlook: Expect the Raptors to once again contend for the Atlantic Division crown and homecourt advantage in the East.
Prediction: 7th Eastern Conference
