Toronto Raptors Season Preview

The Raptors were by far the busiest team in the offseason, the two best moves were acquiring Hedo Turkoglu and Jarrett Jack. First round pick DeMar DeRozan is an athletic wing who will see immediate playing time. Antoine Wright and Amir Johnson were the raptors most underrated moves in the offseason, Wright provides defense at the wing and Johnson provides depth and athleticism up front. Jose Calderon is a great decision maker and has lead the nba in assist-to-turnover ratio the past two seasons. Chris Bosh is the anchor of this team, at least for now and thats why the raptors are a big question mark going into the season. The Raptors still rely too much on the perimeter and with so many new players it may take time to gel on the court.

Key Additions: Hedo Turkoglu, Jarrett Jack, DeMar DeRozan, Antoine Wright, Amir Johnson, Rasho Nesterovic, Marco Belinelli

Key Subtractions: Shawn Marion, Anthony Parker, Jason Kapono, Kris Humphries

Projected Starting Lineup: Jose Calderon/ DeMar DeRozan/ Hedo Turkoglu/ Chris Bosh/ Andrea Bargnani

Key Reserves: Jarrett Jack, Antonie Wright, Marco Belinelli, Rasho Nesterovic, Amir Johnson
