Raptors Bet on Rookie to Fill Mamukelashvili's Void | Toronto News
Description
The Raptors brace for change after losing versatile big man Sandro Mamukelashvili to the Lakers in a lucrative four-year deal, but they’re betting on rookie Allen Graves — a sharp-shooting, athletic 6’9” swingman drafted 19th — to fill the void. With Mamukelashvili’s playoff-caliber season and defensive versatility gone, Graves steps into the backup center role with high expectations, bringing elite three-point shooting and a seven-foot wingspan that can guard multiple positions. The team sees him as the ideal long-term solution, even if it’s risky to trust a rookie in such a pivotal spot. Now, Graves must prove he can match — or exceed — what Mamukelashvili brought to the table.
