Built Ford Tough Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Which Raptor player are you most excited to see play this season and why? It doesn't have to be a new Raptors other anything like that, just anybody. Mine would be a tie between DeMar DeRozan and Marco Belinelli. DeRozan just because of the fact that I have been following his career since he was in high school and he was my favourite player in the draft by far. Once I realized that the Raptors wouldn't get a high enough pick to draft James Harden (just because he would've been such a great fit on the team IMO) I was pulling for DeRozan to become a Raptor. I don't expect too much out of him this year but I am still looking forward to seeing him play. As for Belinelli, I also liked his game when he was first drafted as well. He never really got a consistent chance to prove himself in Golden State but when he was given extended minutes in December last season he produced very well with 14/2/3 on 45 and 38 field goal and three point percentages respectively. With an increased role and more minutes, I am definitely looking forward to see if he is able to consistently put it together. And of course I am excited to see Rasho back in Toronto just because Rasho = GOAT. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I wanna see both of those players too. DeRozan seems hella raw and I want to see how Marco does for Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 4, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Easily DeRozan. It's probably more out of curiosity, though. I love watching rookies play, so it should be of no surprise that I'd pick him. Then again, I'm wanting to see how Hedo plays with a more-defined offensive player in Chris Bosh (more defined than Dwight Howard). Turkoglu really didn't sit on anyone's radar until he showed his face in Orlando, so I'm wondering if he'll shoot a higher percentage in Toronto as he possibly gets more touches, or if he slips off the borderline all-star sheet and becomes a one-dimensional spot-up shooter.

Riot Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Obviously Hedo for me. I can't wait to see how he plays with a pass first PG in Calderon, and with Bosh. I agree with DeRozan and Belinelli too, always interesting to see how the lotto picks/young players will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 DeRozan. I would like to see Bosh and Hedo play as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreusito Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 It's between Belinelli and Hedo for me. I want to see how good Hedo is with a bigger role on offense, in a different system but still with a lot of three point shooting.MArco is just personal, I've always liked him and I have a feeling he'll explode. I'd love him to get 6thMan or MIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Demar DeRozan for me i cant wait to see some highlight dunks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hedo and Demar no doubt. Demar because I am interested to see how he looks opening night, see if he is ready to go or not. Hedo I am just interested to see how he plays with the Raptors, hopefully he gels with the team immediately and we can get off to a good start, we are going to need it we have a pretty tough schedule to start off.

headliner Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I’m excited about the development of this team and mostly the development of Demar throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
