Why Game 4 Decides NBA Champ 👀

Toronto Raptors Off Season.

RaptorsHeraldSep 16, 2009

Reason for makeover: Keep Chris Bosh in Toronto.

Smartest move: Taking Hedo Turkoglu away from Portland required a little luck but gives the Raptors another scorer, 3-point shooter and decision-maker, all in one package, and also keeping there mid level and getting Jarrett Jack, Don't be surprised if they use him the same way Orlando did, running the late game offense through him on occasion to take some pressure off Chris Bosh.

Bad Move: Hard to find a bad move in what Bryan Colangelo has done this off season, but he hasn't added much defense, and the Raptors still seem a bit soft, maybe Reggie Evans can change that.

Draft: Taken ninth overall DeMar DeRozan has a great chance to start at shooting guard and some people think has the most up side in the draft. He has the size and athleticism to play both wing spots, but there are more minutes to be available at the 2 spot.

Summer League: DeRozan, who is just 19, averaged 17 points per game in Las Vegas but also showed restraint on the court and maturity off it. Patrick O'Bryant got a look as a backup center but still needs to play with more force and aggression, the biggest surprise was Quincy Doubly who had the best summer league for the raptors.

Sleeper move: Combo guard Jarrett Jack may be one of the best signings of the summer. If DeRozan isn't quite ready, he can fill the minutes at shooting guard. And when Jose Calderon needs a breather, he can fill in at point guard. Trading for Marco Belinelli wasn't a bad move.

Risk: Colangelo gave a five-year $50 million contract extension to Bargnani, which could end up being a huge bargain or a huge mistake. He is only 23 and figures to get better, but how close is he to his ceiling? And how much of his recent development is from playing alongside Bosh?

Overall grade: A, Raptors look like a playoff team.
