  • If you had to choose one Raptor to spend the rest of his career with the Raps, who would it be and why?

    This one is simple. There are many Raptors that we support but some are just a little closer to our hearts. I'm choosing Amir because I love what he does. Curious to see what the rest have to say.

    JV

    Why?

    Youngest Raptor.
    A lot of potential left untapped.
    Hardest position to fill in the league.
    Desire to be great as he comes from a basketball starved nation.

      I think I would go with Amir as well.

      He's already been here half his life, plus he exemplifies what Torontonians love in their athletes (i.e. blue-collar, hard-workers).

      EDIT: I answered the question with my "sentimental fan" hat on....not my "emotionless GM" hat

        Valanciunas - age, salary, skill, potential, positional scarcity

          I added a poll to help track answers. Hope that's ok!

              Ross, nothing to do with how good i think he will be or could be (although I'm sure he could be great) but just how entertaining he is. Who doesn't love threes and dunks!

                Ujiri, he's got some 30 elite years left.

                        JV for his potential

                        TRoss is a close second because of his electrifying dunks

                          Yeah, the JV and Ross combo is a hard one to pass up, with JV getting the slight edge mostly because of position.

                          I love both...why? They both seem like guys who will fit in any system with pretty much any roster.

                            Ross is valuable not only for his skill set (offense and defense) but for his ability to contribute/score without the ball in his hands.

                            He really has become good at reading the angles and moving to get open looks for 3.

                              i vote Ross. only a sophomore but learning fast on almost all levels that someone in his position needs, especially now that he has opportunity to start and play more minutes.
