CB4 was super talented but I never felt he embraced the city or the team. It always felt he was just waiting until he could leave. It shows more now that he's retired and you never see him around or really talking about his time in Toronto

Arguably the best year besides the inaugural season, really.

Re: Rank your top 5 raptors
1. Lowry - No explanation needed, so much heart.
2. Leonard - Again, no explanation needed. The best offensive weapon we've ever seen on this team. Surgical. And the defence was nearly peak too.
3. Carter - The early year highlights were a thing of beauty.
4. Gasol - Watching him operate was like watching a chess boxing master. He could outthink AND outbody you.
5. Bench mob Siakam - The early Siakam years were so much fun to watch where he could get out in transition vs. bench players and spin move his way to easy and very quick transition points. I'd put the whole bench mob in here if I could.
HM: 13 game Bargs - It was so tantalizing. What could've been.

Re: Rank your top 5 raptors
I started watching the Raptors in the 2006-2007 season, so I can't have a list before that.
5. Jorge Garbajosa -- I started watching the Raptors in 2007 and remember how good Jorge was! I remember how sad I was when my friends told me about his injury and how he was screaming. His rizz was Spainntastic.
4. Demar Derozan -- Hard not to like DD. Just a good dude on and off the court. I didn't suffer from the Bargnani years for nothing. Kendrick Lamar shoulda given him his rizz on Black Boy Fly.
3. Jonas Valanciunas -- The first rookie I really paid attention to. I remember how hilarious my friends and I found an interview where he said he likes to rebound and dunk. Hell ya. The RizzLithuanian!!
2. Kyle Lowry -- Just an amazing floor general. He played basketball the way I think it should be played. Showed how far IQ will bring you. The Noga Alon/Rizz Combinatorialist of Raptors basketball.
1. Kawhi Leonard -- He was my favourite superstar in the league prior to his injury. Just loved how efficient and stoic he was. The Rizz Shotta.
HONOURABLE MENTION TO AARON GRAY
HONOURABLE MENTION TO RUDY GAY (SUPERVILLAIN -> HERO. LIKE VEGETA.)

Re: Rank your top 5 raptors
Kyle Lowry - GROAT
Kawhi Leonard - Won us a championship
Vince Carter - Highest Peak as a Raptor
Pascal Siakam - Key part of our title run, and very high career numbers in Toronto
Chris Bosh - Best career numbers in Toronto out of anyone not on the list yet (could also make a case for VanVleet or DeRozan)
