I think Yuta's got a spot locked up, which means Gillespie, Bonga, Dekker, Wainwright and Perry fighting for two spots. They're obviously trying to give Gillespie the opportunity to make a case for himself, so it's probably frustrating for the organization that he's just not showing the same level he was late last season. He needs to at the very least find a way to stay in games without fouling (to be fair I thought at least one of the foul calls last night was awful). I liked Bonga in his few minutes last night, and I think he's worth holding onto if the Raptors can afford the roster spot, though he doesn't fill a need.

Boucher's out 3-4 weeks, which means he'll miss the beginning of the season, so at this point it seems most likely Barnes will start the season a PF.
