Dwane Casey’s tenure with Toronto was often maligned due to a perception that his tactical choices, including his play-calling, handicapped the Raptors from reaching their potential. It is nearly impossible to assign credit and responsibility for choices made by an entire coaching staff, as no one outside of the team is privy to its conversations.



What is known is that the Raptors’ offense routinely ranked statistically in the upper echelon during Casey’s time as head coach. In fact, Toronto has not ranked outside of the top 10 in offensive efficiency since 2013-14. Consequently, we know the plays Casey ran there contributed in some part to this success.



To get a better idea of what a perennial top-10 offense looks like from a schematic perspective, we will go through some of the Raptors’ half-court sets and identify what to expect in Detroit from the reigning Coach of the Year.
