Raptors’ Kawhi Leonard highlights valuable Scottie Barnes, Collin Murray-Boyles trait

The Toronto Raptors are entering the 2026-27 season as a dark-horse contender after trading for Kawhi Leonard and essentially rescuing him from a sinking Los Angeles Clippers ship. Leonard gives the Raptors a legitimate number one option on offense, and his history of being an elite defender makes him a perfect fit for what Toronto is building. The Raptors boast quite a few rangy and lengthy defenders on the roster, with Scottie Barnes having the likes of Leonard and Collin Murray-Boyles, just to name a few, raring to wreak havoc on the opposition.
