I have always enjoyed the Toronto Raptors. There is something about them that catches my eye. They always have a knack for finding talent. They just have a hard time keeping it. This year they managed to bring one in: Hedo Turkoglu.
This year will be a year of gelling and growing. How long will it take for Turkoglu, Chris Bosh, Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon, and Jarrett Jack to gel? The sooner the better. This team should be one that improves throughout the year.
A lot of how much they improves relies on the progress of youngsters, DeMar DeRozan, Sonny Weems, and Marco Belinelli. Toronto has a thin bench and one of these guys will start. But, the other 2 will see plenty of time. They are a shooting guard away from making the play offs and a year away from acquiring more bench help or having it develop.
This team is doing a nice job.
