5 Players the Toronto Raptors should target prior to the NBA Trade Deadline

No. 3 - Frank Kaminsky

Memphis Grizzlies v Phoenix Suns.

Frank Kaminsky is a 7-foot center who has been in the NBA since 2015 and has played 326 games. He averages 10 points and four rebounds in his career (only 36 starts) and can be a solid option for the Toronto Raptors.

Kaminsky has made 35% of his 3-pointers in his NBA career (on 3.4 attempts per game), and his frame could help the Raptors' rebounding woes.

He is currently a member of the Phoenix Suns, but his role has been limited. Kaminsky is averaging just eight minutes per game (career-low) and has just five appearances in the 2020-21 NBA season.

No. 2 Mike Muscala

Mike Muscala #33 of the Oklahoma City Thunder and Joakim Noah #55 of the LA Clippers battle for position.

Mike Muscala is a 6-foot-10 center who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder and is having a nice year at age 29.

Muscala has been in the league since the 2013-14 NBA season and has played for four teams.

In his career, he averages six points and three rebounds in just over 15 minutes a game. However, Muscala is averaging 10 points per game off the bench in eight appearances with the Thunder.

Muscala has made 37% of his 3-pointers in his career (782 3-point attempts). With OKC, he made 38% of his 3-point shots last year (three attempts per game).

This season, he has made 43% of his 3-pointers (5.3 attempts per game), and he could be a great asset for the Toronto Raptors' frontcourt.

His best game of the year came against the New Orleans Pelicans when he put up 18 points and made five of his seven threes.

No. 1 - Naz Reid

Robert Covington #23 of the Portland Trail Blazers and Naz Reid #11 of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Naz Reid went undrafted in the 2019 NBA Draft before the Minnesota Timberwolves initially signed him to a two-way contract and then guaranteed his deal.

In 30 games last season, Reid averaged nine points per game and had 41/33/70 shooting splits. In the 2020-21 NBA season, he is averaging 11 points and four rebounds in 20 minutes per game (10 appearances and three starts in the year).

Reid is having a tremendous shooting year. He has made 54% of his shots from the field and 39% of his 3-pointers (2.6 attempts per game). His free-throw shooting remains close to 70% (69%).

The Toronto Raptors could add a major piece to develop but also enjoy a nice present with Reid.
