With the arrival of training camp for the Toronto Raptors, we look at three ways Cory Joseph needs his game to grow, so he can continue his path as a player and potentially become a sixth man of the year candidate.

Back-up point guard is the most underrated position in the league, something which the Toronto Raptors are well aware of. You have to keep the bench mob involved, but hold the ball in your hands the majority of the time, while also being hands off when running with the starters.

Being able to flip that switch makes Cory Joseph an essential back up point guard. His ability to switch between both guard positions offensively and defensively, allows the Raptors to make a near seamless transition between the bench and the starting lineup.

Preseason is here and at age 25, CoJo has aspects of his game that need expansion so he can continue his growth as a player and a possible Sixth Man of the Year candidate. We look at three ways he can improve himself.
