2× All-StarAll-DefensiveRookie of the Year

The Raptors' two-way franchise cornerstone and an All-Star who finished fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting while making All-Defensive Second Team. At 24 he's a point-forward who does everything but shoot — 18.1/7.5/5.9 with 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks, a genuine playmaking hub (80th percentile) who guards the perimeter elite and protects the rim like a center. The 30% three and loose handle are the last things keeping him from superstardom.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
