Domaine de Grand Pré’s Recipe for Award-Winning Service and Hospitality | SaltWireThe Raptors get a first hands-on look at the biggest prospect in all of sports on Sunday afternoon in San Antonio.

The NBA has never seen a player like “Wemby” and the Raptors are about to get a taste. They’ve already run into 7-foot, 280-pound behemoth Joel Embiid twice this season, and fellow 7-foot giant Giannis Antetokounmpo. Raptors rookie Gradey Dick marvelled the other day at how players that big and strong could be so athletic and skilled. He hasn’t seen anything yet. Down the line Wembanyama might join that MVP club, but he’s a far different type of player.

“He’s got confidence in himself,” Popovich said. “He made some plays that were unbelievable. That combination is pretty good.” The Raptors helped them get there too, just as the Spurs helped the Raptors to Toronto’s only championship, by dealing them Kawhi Leonard. Keldon Johnson, the team’s scoring leader at 22 a game a year ago, was the draft pick that came back to San Antonio in the Leonard trade and Toronto owes the Spurs another first-round pick, Top 6 protected, from the re-acquisition of Jakob Poeltl last season. Poeltl had also been part of the Leonard trade, but the Spurs decided to move on.
