Davion Mitchell - Dishes 10 assists TuesdayMitchell scored nine pints (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding 10 assists, three rebounds and a steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 preseason win over the Celtics.
ImpactGetting the start at point guard with Immanuel Quickley (thumb) sidelined, Mitchell continues to build his case for a significant role with Toronto. The Raptors have a young backcourt that includes Gradey Dick (13th overall pick in 2023) and Ja'Kobe Walker (19th overall in 2024), and Mitchell -- the ninth overall pick in 2021, now getting a fresh start after three seasons on the Kings' bench -- could fit right in.

Gradey Dick - Pours in game-high 27 TuesdayDick scored 27 points (12-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt) while adding six rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 preseason win over the Celtics.
ImpactThe second-year guard led all scorers in the game, an impressive achievement even for a preseason contest considering Boston stars like Jayson Tatum were seeing a full workload. Dick is the favorite to start at shooting guard for Toronto this season, a role that could lead to a breakout campaign, but he's already demonstrated his acumen from beyond the arc by draining 1.5 threes on 36.5 percent shooting as a rookie in only 21.1 minutes a game.

Jakob Poeltl - Big double-double against BostonPoeltl scored 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 FT) while adding 16 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 119-118 preseason win over the Celtics.
ImpactIt's the veteran center's second straight double-double in exhibition action. Injuries limited Poeltl to only 50 regular-season games in 2023-24, but when he's on the court he's a key secondary contributor for the Raptors.
