That's a wrap on a shortened pre-season schedule that still seemed quite long enough. The Raptors finished 3-2, but the most important thing is nobody got injured - and rookie OG Anunoby actually returned to action far ahead of schedule.

Anunoby should look more comfortable with each passing game and he certainly was impressive at times against the Bulls on Friday night. Anunoby completely took over the third quarter, hitting three three-pointers on four attempts and adding a steal and a breakaway jam for good measure. He looks more comfortable with the ball than expected and has even been attacking off of the dribble. Defensively, he is a bundle of energy with great instincts.

The Raptors are doing cartwheels that he fell to them at No. 23. They had promised to take him, but Anunoby and his people didn't think he'd still be around. The belief was his injury would keep him out of training camp and into the season. For a long-term prospect, that doesn't seem like such a big deal and it appears that a few teams didn't think this one through.

DeMar DeRozan hasn't taken seven or fewer shots in a game since the 2013-14 season, but even though he only had seven attempts against the Bulls, he still looked pretty good, especially in the first quarter. DeRozan smartly took advantage of a mismatch when faced with a smaller defender, but continued the encouraging pre-season trend of seeking out teammates. He did this whether a double-team or quick trap arrived, or just to search out a better shot on a swing pass. He even looked quite engaged on defence early (Dwane Casey wasn't thrilled with the defence of the starters overall, but DeRozan had his moments) and had a block for the second straight game, which rarely happens (he only had 13 blocks all last season). He also took a charge.

Even though C.J. Miles was the early favourite to start at small forward, expect Norman Powell to fill that role. Casey appears to have found a great fit with Miles (who had a tremendous shooting night) playing the senior role with the kids. Powell has always thrived alongside DeRozan and as a starter. He just needs to finish more of his inside looks, something that happened deeper into this game after some bad early misses. Powell looked way off again from long-range, before nailing a couple later on.

Young point guards Delon Wright and Fred VanVleet again produced positive results, but the refs were after VanVleet all night and both piled up turnovers. Wright was excellent though, perhaps with his best exhibition performance yet.

Jakob Poeltl was the backup centre ahead of Lucas Nogueira for the third time in the five games and made some silly mistakes and got overpowered by Cristiano Felico, but otherwise was solid. Fellow sophomore big man Pascal Siakam is a real weapon running the floor. He simply outran Bulls players on a handful of occasions, twice getting baskets out of it.

Overall, some positives, especially Anunoby and the team shooting coming around, but Toronto was too lackadaisical and this looked like an exhibition, instead of a final tuneup.

Taking stats from pre-season play is a fool's errand (and one of the games isn't even included at nba.com/stats), but in case you are desperate to know, the Raptors trailed only Portland and Houston in points per 100 possessions, were middle of the pack defensively and had the fifth-best net rating in the exhibitions.

The most interesting number to me was the Raptors rocketed up to 5th in assist ratio and 10th in assist percentage after being a yearly staple in 29th or 30th place in that category and it didn't harm the efficiency of the offence, as Toronto still ranked third in effective field goal percentage and first in true shooting percentage.
