The Toronto Raptors have built an impressive young core with several good players but no surefire star. Who among that core has the highest ceiling to become an All-NBA type player one day?

Evaluating a player’s ceiling can be a difficult task. Previously, and still at some level today, front offices based potential on height, athleticism, and other attributes that cannot be taught. Meanwhile, shooting, basketball IQ, and other skills that can be approved upon, were viewed as teachable talents or area’s for growth.

At some level this is true. No matter how hard he tries, Isaiah Thomas will never become an adequate defender due to his height. However, a post-plodding big-men like Marc Gasol can develop the ability to hit more three-pointers in a season than Larry Bird ever did.

Yet, in a league more reliant on skill than ever before, a player’s ceiling becomes much more murky. No one expected Steph Curry to breakout the way he did. With the increased importance of shooting, other less physically gifted players can make similar, albeit much lesser, leap in improvement.

If any of the Raptors’ current young core is to develop into a superstar, it will require an outlier type arc of development, similar to that of Curry, Jimmy Butler, or Kawhi Leonard. An unlikely, although not impossible, outcome.

Who of the Raptors’ young core is most likely to make a jump towards stardom? Who on their current roster has the highest ceiling? We ranked all key contributors with three years or less experience.
