DeMar DeRozan has been solid for the Toronto Raptors

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Rookie Reports, Front Page by alleyoop on Thursday 25 February 2010 at 1:31 pm

So much for bringing along rookie shooting guard DeMar DeRozan slowly as he has been in the Raptors’ starting lineup since day #1. DeRozan has played in 50 games (all starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 21.2 minutes, 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He is also shooting 47.7% from the floor this season as he does not seem intimidated by his surroundings. Look for the Raptors to take the training wheels off of DeRozan next year.

Andrea Bargnani has been solid all season for the Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors’ center Andrea Bargnani is having the best season of his four-year career and has been one of the Raptors most consistent scorers.  Bargnani is 7′0″ and 250-pounds, but he is far from a low-post, back to the basket type of guy.  Bargnani is the epitome of a big European player, as the Italian native has a great stroke and loves to shoot the three.  This season Bargnani is shooting 47% from the field (career-high) and 36% from three.  He  is averaging career highs in points, rebounds, and blocks with averages of 17.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 assists.  Bargnani is turning out to be a very good player and worth the number one pick in the 2006 draft when many thought he may turn into another bust like Darko Milicic.  Each year his numbers have improved and he could turn out to be an All-Star in a few years.

Jarrett Jack has been a solid player for the Toronto Raptors this season

When the Raptors signed Jarrett Jack they weren’t sure where or how much he was going to play. But, he has turned into probably the most important guard on the team. When Jose Calderon got injured Jack stepped right in at point guard and the Raptors didn’t miss a beat. Jack has played in 39 games (22 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 28.6 minutes, 10.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. It never hurts to have a lot of good guards on your team and that’s exactly what the Raptors have right now.

Sonny Weems is stepping up for the Toronto Raptors lately

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Steppin Up, Front Page by alleyoop on Tuesday 9 February 2010 at 3:49 pm

23-year old shooting guard Sonny Weems has been stepping up lately. Weems is averaging 25.4 minutes, 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in his last five contests. Weems has now played in 38 games (5 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 16.2 minutes, 5.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. The Raptors will likely keep giving Weems decent minutes as long as he keeps earning them.

Antoine Wright is the most likely Toronto Raptors player to be dealt

Blogged under General, Bloglockers, Need to step up, Front Page by alleyoop on Tuesday 2 February 2010 at 7:05 pm

Forget all of the Chris Bosh trade rumors because he isn’t going anywhere. Especially with the Celtics starting to fade back in the standings. The most likely player to be moved by the Raptors will be SG/SF Antoine Wright. Wright has played in 38 games (2 starts) for the Raptors this season and he is averaging 17.3 minutes, 5.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The reason it might be hard to move Wright is that he has not shot well from anywhere on the floor this season. He has hit 40.3% of his shots from the floor, 36.4% from the three point line and 64.5% from the free throw line this year. A contending team like the Grizzlies could use a player like Wright as their bench is pretty weak.
