Rookie forward Jamario Moon came out of nowhere to really help the Raptors this season. He quickly moved into the starting lineup due to his all out hustle and it was infectious to the other Raptors. Moon played in 78 games (75 starts) for the Raptors this season and he averaged 27.8 minutes, 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steal per game. He also shot 48.5% from the floor which means he wasn’t taking many bad shots. Moon knows his role on the Raptors and that’s why he fit in perfectly. Look for him to expand his game next season to possibly include increasing his scoring average.

Jamario Moon has come out of nowhere this season and right into the Raptors starting lineup. He has played in 53 games (51 starts) this season for the Raptors and he is averaging 28.4 minutes, 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.4 blocks per game. He is shooting decent this season as he’s hitting 46.7% from the floor, 30.9% from the three point line and 72.4% from the free throw line. Moon’s all-out effort has infected his teammates and he will get some votes for Rookie of the Year at the end of the season.

Forward Jamario Moon has been quite a find for the Raptors due to all of the injuries they have suffered this season. The rookie has played in 25 games so far this season and he is averaging 28.1 minutes, 7.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.6 blocks per game. Look for Moon to keep getting solid playing time as long as he’s playing well.

The Raptors scouting department earns high grades for scouring the globe to find Andrea Bargnani and Jorge Garbajosa.  Foward Andrea Bargnani looks like he could be a future “Dirk Nowitzki-type” player for the Raptors in the future.  He’s a decent rebounder and an outstanding shooter.  He played in 65 games as a rookie and he averaged 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  He shot 42.7% from the floor and 37.3% from behind the 3-point line.  F/C Jorge Garbajosa has a lot of the same skills as Bargnani, but he doesn’t have as high of a ceiling for the future.  He played in 67 games last season and he averaged 28.5 minutes, 8.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.  He shot 42% from the floor and 34.2% from 3-point range.  Forward Uros Slokar played in only 20 games and he averaged 3.6 minutes, 1.9 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game.  He did shoot 53.8% from the floor, so he might make a decent reserve for the Raptors in the future.

Jorge Garbajosa will miss the remainder of the season after he had surgery last Tuesday to repair horrific injuries to his left leg and ankle.  He played in 67 games in his rookie season and he averaged 28.5 minutes, 8.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game.  He will be missed in the playoffs because of his all-out effort and hustle which rubbed off on the rest of the players on the court for the Raptors.  He was quite a find as an undrafted free agent which is a testament to the fine scouting department of the Raptors organization.
