Top 5 Toronto Raptors of all time

By Odon and Sergei and Cooper

7.Serge Ibaka

In 7th place, we have Serge Ibaka. Serge made our list because of his tenacious defence at the rim. Also for helping the Raptors win a championship in 2019. 

6. Tracy McGrady

Our other sleeper pick in 6th place we have Tracy McGrady AKA T-MAC. Tracy McGrady was drafted by the Raptors in the 1997 NBA draft ninth overall. In his time with the Raptors. He had 11 points, three rebounds, five assists,  one block and one steal through 3 seasons. Where he had good stats but they definitely aren’t superstar stats. This is because he play with the Raptors when he was very young and still developing as a player

5. Chris bosh

Now to start a top five in fifth place, we have Chris bosh. In what is widely regarded as one of the strongest draft classes in NBA history, which included future All-Stars LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade, Bosh was selected fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 2003 NBA draft and was signed on July 8, 2003. In his career with the Raptors he had 20 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks over seven seasons of the Raptors. I think that Chris bosh is probably the best big man in raptors history. 

4. Kyle Lowry

In fourth place we have Kyle Lowry. The reason why we have him on our top five is because he helped the Raptors win their first championship in 2019. With the Raptors with the Raptors over eight seasons how Lowry averaged 17 points, five rebounds and seven assists and also 1.5 steals which are great starts and he is definitely the best point guard in raptors history. Throughout his career at the Raptors he made five All-Star teams. he made an all nba third team in 2015-16. he also leads the Raptors in many statistical categories

3.DeMar DeRozan

In third place we have DeMar DeRozan. DeMar DeRozan is very well deserving of his third spot on this list He should maybe even be higher on the list. In nine seasons with the Raptors averaged almost 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and one rebound. He had for all star game selections, 1 All NBA second team section and 1 all nba 3team selection. Before this past season where we traded Demar. DeMar DeRozan definitely would have been the greatest raptor of all time on our list. but because of him not winning a championship for us Also because of  the emergence of Kawhi Leonard. This is why he is the 3rd Player on this list.

2. Kawhi Leonard

In second place we have Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi Leonard is the second best player with history because he brought a championship here. although he left after only one season and kind of snaked us. But he was still an amazing player in a short sample size. Kawhi Leonard is probably my favourite player in Raptors franchise history. Kawhi Leonard is the only player who I have their Jersey of that’s how much I love Kawhi Leonard.  that is why he is number two on the list which is ironically his number in real life. 

1.Vince Carter

Surprisingly, Vinsanity AKA Vince Carter is first place because of his effect on the Raptors. He put the raptors on the map. Carter emerged as a star in Toronto. He won the 1999 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and won the Slam Dunk Contest at the 2000 NBA All-Star Weekend. That summer, he represented the United States in the Summer Olympics, winning a gold medal. He entertained crowds with his leaping ability and slam dunks, earning nicknames such as “Vinsanity”, “Air Canada”, and “Half-Man, Half-Amazing”.
