New NBA season more about tweaks for Raptors than wholesale changes
TORONTO — While the Toronto Raptors headed into the off-season amid talk of a “culture reset,” their new look is more of a trim than a completely new ‘do.
DeMar DeRozan, the team’s leading scorer and master of metaphors, was asked about a change in playing style as the team held media day Monday, the traditional opener to NBA training camp.
It’s more about tweaks than wholesale changes.
“You trim it down a little bit, they’re going to say you look a little different, but you’re still you,” said DeRozan, continuing the analogy. “You might walk with a little bit more of a swagger, you’re going to feel a little bit more confident about yourself.”
