"We touched on Julian Reese's departure in the last power rankings, but two more players followed him in graduating to the big leagues not long after in Olivier Sarr and David Roddy. The former missed the last couple of games pre-all-star break with some knee soreness, but looked refreshed upon his return following the pause, and the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to agree by giving the 27-year-old a two-way contract."
"The team then went out and acquired talent to replace the departed, however, in former first overall pick Markelle Fultz and Canadian Tyrese Samuel. Neither finds themselves in the top five of this list, as both seem to be still trying to figure things out with the new club."
"In two games with the junior Dinos, Fultz is averaging 5.0 points and 5.5 assists while shooting 26.7 per cent from the field, while Samuel has put up 8.5 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 77.8 per cent from the field across four games."
The Toronto Raptors prospect power rankings track all eligible prospects including rookies, two-way contract holders, and Raptors 905 players. Recent roster movement has significantly altered the prospect landscape. Julian Reese, Olivier Sarr, and David Roddy have graduated to NBA contracts with other teams. Sarr signed with Cleveland after recovering from knee soreness, while Roddy joined Denver following World Cup qualifying competition. The Raptors 905 replaced departing players by acquiring former first overall pick Markelle Fultz and Canadian prospect Tyrese Samuel. Both newcomers are still adjusting to their new team, with Fultz averaging 5.0 points and 5.5 assists across two games, while Samuel has contributed 8.5 points and 5.5 rebounds over four games.
