Jay Triano, the new head coach of the Raptors, sees a lot of areas in which the club can improve.
"There are things that I'm going to put in over the course of time that will be different defensively, but right now it's going to be tweaked here and there until we can get comfortable with our personnel and what we think we can do at the defensive end," Triano said in a conference call Wednesday night.
Triano, along with team GM Bryan Colangelo, would like to see the Raptors run more, which, of course, starts on the defensive end.
"Running becomes a mindset and a habit, and if it's not enforced and pushed all the time, it's easy to walk the ball up the floor," Triano said. "Conditioning, getting up and down the floor is a mindset we're going to have to try to get instilled in these players. I don't think we're going to see 100 shots go up in the first game with these guys, it's something that is going to take a bit of time."
