23-year old center Andrea Bargnani is not a typical center. He is not a good rebounder or defensive player. His game is offense and shooting as he nailed 40.9% of his three point attempts last season. He played in 78 games for the Raptors last season and he averaged 31.4 minutes, 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocked shots per game. His skills match up well with Chris Bosh’s as they form a almost perfect tandem. 33-year old Rasho Nesterovic will back up Bargnani this season. He played in 70 games for the Pacers last season and he averaged 17.3 minutes, 6.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He should do a solid job this season for the Raptors. 23-year old Pat O’Bryant will be the #3 center for the Raptors this season. He played in 39 games for the Raptors last season and he averaged 6.5 minutes, 2.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game.
