Would the Raptors have fared differently with Valanciunas?

Biyombo being able to guard Lebron on the perimeter while adding some rim protection made it a more competitive series. Perhaps Toronto should give Valanciunas the Kanter role in the future? What do you guys think? It's clear they need Biyombo playing heavy minutes to win the series.

They're not winning the series even if Biyombo plays 48 minutes a game.

Maybe not win the series but he gives them a better chance of winning the series.

Matchups matter if anything.

Jonas was playing like the best player for the Raptors before he got sprained and he is a weapon that can be effective on both ends. They can decide to go on the block for low post scoring if they try to go 2 stretch bigs, but you would have to be concerned if Jonas can defend on the perimeter.

Valanciunas is the better player but biyombo gives the raptors a certain type of energy that no one else can...blocking shots and the way emphatically rebounds
