Raptors
G- Kyle Lowry: 2012-Present
Despite having played only four seasons in Toronto, Kyle Lowry has made an impact on the Raptors’ organization that was unprecedented. Lowry has not only produced on the court, but he has also elevated his teammates to the next level. Without Lowry, DeMar Derozan, Terance Ross, and Jonas Valanciunas would not have made the leaps that they have made.
In his four seasons in Toronto, Lowry has led the team the playoffs three times. Last season he led the team to their first ever Eastern Conference Finals birth- making it past the first round for just the second time in the franchise’s history.
Both of Lowry’s All-Star appearences have come in the last two years as a member of the Raptors, having been voted …show more content…
In his seven seasons with Toronto, Derozan has established himself as one of the twenty best players in the league- appearing in two All-Star games during that span, and leading the Raptors’ in scoring.
Derozan has not only embraced playing in a small market like Toronto, but he has endorsed it, so much so, he turned down the opportunity to play for the Lakers to stay in Toronto.
Derozan ranks second in points scored, free throws, and minutes played on the Raptors’ all-time leader board. Given his contract and commitment to the organization, Derozan will likely retire as the team’s all-time leader in a number of …show more content…
Before there was Chris Bosh, Kyle Lowry, or DeMar Derozan, there was Vince Carter. When fans thought of the Raptors they thought of Vince Carter. They though of his high-flying dunks, explosive finishes at the rim, and his prolific scoring ability. Without Carter basketball probably would have failed in the country of Canada.
During his time with the Raptors, Carter established himself as one of the ten best players in the league, leading the team in scoring in all seven of his seasons with the team. His 23.4 points per game with the Raptors is first on the Raptors scoring list. He appeared in five All-Star games with the team, and won an Olympic gold medal in 2000. His most prolific moment as a member of the Raptors was the 2000 dunk contest, where Carter not only won the contest, but he stole the show, throwing down a number of ridiculous dunks.
Despite his success as an individual, Carter and the Raptors only appeared in two postseasons during his seven years Toronto.
