Darko Rajakovic has a good problem with what projects to be a deep rotation and decisions to make on who plays and who doesn't. Vivek Jacob is joined by The Athletic and Sportscasting's Esfandiar Baraheni to discuss how things might shake out.

In the first segment, Vivek discusses with Es why R.J. Barrett might be playing fewer than 30 minutes per game this season. There's plenty of players offering competition between Gradey Dick, Ja'Kobe Walter and Ochai Agbaji and so this will be a crucial part of the Raptors' rotation.

Second, the centre rotation could be murky beyond Jakob Poeltl. Can the Austrian big man himself play more minutes? He's never averaged more than 30 minutes per game in a season. Will it be Sandro Mamukelashvili or Collin Murray-Boyles at centre? How about Jonathan Mogbo. Plenty for Darko to figure out here.

Lastly, the point guard rotation is going to be an interesting piece of the puzzle as well. The Raptors are going to need big minutes from Immanuel Quickley. Beyond that, if Jamal Shead isn't truly ready for backup minutes then maybe we'll see Barrett and Barnes assume more ball handling.
