00:00 The Toronto Raptors will return to the court this afternoon for their third and final scrimmage game.
00:05 It will be the team's last opportunity to work off four months of rust before the regular season returns on August 1st.
00:11 Here are three things I'll be looking for. Number one is Ananobi's improved handles and playmaking.
00:17 Ananobi showed off all the hard work he's put into improving his handles during the team's last scrimmage game against Portland.
00:23 It's something he said he worked on constantly during the COVID-19 break.
00:27 Well, as soon as we got back to the gym during the quarantine period, I was working on it every day.
00:32 And I'm still feeling better about it every day, but I know there's still a long way to go.
00:36 So,
00:38 I'm not satisfied with this last night. I can do more. So I'm gonna keep working to do more.
00:44 Today's game will be the Raptors' last opportunity to try out a few new things with Ananobi before the season returns.
00:50 Number two is Norman Powell's shooting.
00:52 Powell has been in a bit of a shooting funk lately, and while it's not any cause for concern right now,
00:57 it's something to monitor going forward. Number three is just how ready do the Raptors look.
01:02 Nick Nurse said he's generally pretty happy with the way guys have looked so far, but there's still room for improvement.
01:08 Sorting out the final kinks for the Raptors will be important because the next game actually does count for something.
