The Raptors currently have a well-rounded roster, although the team is perhaps short when it comes to big men. Marc Gasol has recently replaced Serge Ibaka as Toronto's starting center, and with Ibaka spending the majority of his career playing at power forward, the Raptors would benefit from using their final roster spot on another big man.

There are a few solid candidates available, although Marcin Gortat appears to be the man who can come and make the biggest impact. The 35-year-old has been without a team since leaving the Clippers last month, although, during his six-month spell with the team, he managed to contribute 5.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in just 16 minutes per game.

Gortat also has recent playoff experience having played a major role in Washington's 2017 run to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, and the Raptors have nothing to lose by bringing in the veteran on a temporary deal.
