Raps This Week - Oct. 27/08
Raps This Week
Steve Gennaro aka phdsteve
Every Monday we take a look at the last 7 days in Raptorsland process and look ahead at the upcoming timetable to forecast what to expect.
In this week’s number of Raps This Week we start at the end of the 2007-2008 flavour and then take into consideration the offseason and preseason to forewarn what Raptors fans can expect from their expert in team in 2008-2009.
2008-2009 Toronto RaptorsNO. NAME POS AGE HT WT COLLEGE 2008 - 2009 Remuneration
The Starting Five8 Jose Calderon PG 27 6-3 210 $7,438,018
After a breakout seasoned in 2008 that saw Jose Calderon go from “consistent back-up” to “almost All Star,” big things are expected in Raptorland for the Spanish guard entering his 4th year. Brian Colangelo wasted no continually and money to ensure this offseason that Calderon was made the #1 accentuate guard in Toronto. TJ Ford was dealt to Indiana, and Jose was resigned to a lucrative 5 year act on. Last season, Calderon was the most efficient guardian in the league, averaging a stellar 8.3 assists to 1.5 turnovers per meeting, in addition to 11 points, 1 snitch and 3 rebounds a game (and playing unbiased 30 minutes a night)! Calderon’s 52% shooting from the battleground and 43% from behind the arc last season really punished teams for prevalent under the screen in the high pick and orbit with Chris Bosh. If Calderon can wholly maintain that production with his increased minutes (he can want an additional 6-8 minutes a non-stop) then not only will the Raptors find themselves in contention for a top 4 seed in the East but Jose may also find himself at the All Feature Game in February. The danger here is that with the additional labour load, Jose will tire and without TJ Ford’s imprudent abandon and scoring ability as a check to Jose’s more traditional point guardian style, Jose will be unable to echo the performance of his breakout/contract year last occasion.
18 Anthony Parker SG 33 6-6 215 Bradley $4,550,000
Over the last two seasons, Raptors fans have been treated to the misconception of Anthony Parker. In his first season with the Raps, Parker gained a stature around the league for being a tough defender, a intelligent basketball player, and an excellent site up shooter with great range from behind the arc. Dialogue on the street was that the 2-time Euroleague MVP had grown up at Maccabi Tel Aviv and was on the brink of to make the most of his second chance in the NBA. Then last age, Anthony Parker disappeared? Some games, he would detrain up the opposition for 16 to 18 points with a skilful mix of dunks, 3 pointers and 15 foot jumpers. Then, for a week at a heyday, he would shoot less than 20% from the field. When AP doesn’t gull, this team really has difficulty bewitching. No where was this more obvious then in the playoffs, when Anthony Parker might as well have been wearing an Orlando Jersey- since he was not only impotent on the offensive end, but also allowed Boguns and Orlando’s other verge players to light up the Raptors with uncontested 3 after uncontested 3 in some of the most uncomfortable Raptors’ losses in work together history. Now, here’s the illusion: AP’s stats in 2006-2007 are almost Equivalent to his stats in 2007-2008 in every category: FG%, FT%, 3PT%, Pts, ASSTs, RBs, and Steals. Here’s the inapt: with AP, what you see is what you get: 10 points a night on 40% shooting. Faithful, but not much more.
33 Jamario Moon SF 28 6-8 205 $711,517
After several years of toiling in the basketball lesser leagues, Jamario Moon shatter onto the NBA scene last year, earning a starting r on the Toronto Raptors. What’s even more amazing is that even though the unalloyed universe outside of Sam Mitchell’s position seems to agree that Moon should not start, tenebrosity after night, Jamario’s name gets called over the PA system at the Air Canada Meet. Although Moon has “quick hands” on defense and can police opposing wing players with some valid panache, its his offense that is a real set back for the Raps. Opposite teams know that there is very little time of Moon trying to take them off the dribble, even though he has cool speed and super human hops. In preference to, Moon prefers to settle for prolonged jumpers and 3 pointers, even in the face of a 3pt normally that barely hits 30%. With O’Neal and Bosh commanding important attention in the paint, it is vital that the wing players for Toronto hit the “free jumper” with consistency to whip opposing defenses for cheating with a twofold team down low. Calderon and AP can be counted on, but Moon, until he gives up the yearn jumper and hits the mid range with some consistency- and attacks the basket more- has to be viewed as a susceptibility on this team. It is the lack of a reliable wing performer that separates Toronto from the top tier teams of the East (BOS, DET, CLEV).
4 Chris Bosh PF 24 6-10 230 Georgia Tech $14,410,581
There isn’t much to say about Chris Bosh that is new or obscure to Raps fans. Simply put, Bosh is not only a top 5 power quicken in the NBA, but arguably a top 5 player- period. Even without Jermaine O’Neal’s totalling, CB4 could be counted on to average 20-10 this opportunity ripe. For Chris, this is a season of question marks, such as: can he and JO co-happen? So far, the preseason has NOT been a glowing endorsement, as both players have struggled when they are on the court together and look a teensy-weensy bit uncomfortable sharing the low paint. But, one attitude can be said for Bosh, he is one of the most unselfish and dedicated players in the union- he has happily taken a back seat in his craft to less team oriented players like Vince Carter and Antonio Davis- and you can bet that in very small time CB4 will have made the necessary adjustments. The bigger suspect for Chris is simply this: can he stay vigorous? After playing all summer with Team USA, and with a information of foot problems, Raptors fans must be jaded about Bosh’s long term salubriousness- especially with no real centre on the Raptors bench- and the very verifiable possibility that Bosh will spend some relevant time at the 5 this year if Sam Mitchell decides to be wonky curry favour with small- or if JO finds himself injured.
6 Jermaine O’Neal PF 30 6-11 260 $21,372,000
Ugly and simple: Jermaine O’Neal claims to be 100% salutary. If you believe him, then you can expect at the very minimum 15pts, 10 rbs, and 2+ blocks a non-stop. You can expect him to provide leadership and toughness in the low piling that this team has not seen since the early years of Charles Oakley. O’Neal will reimburse for the defensive shortcomings of wing players like Kapono at the same once upon a time as making it almost impossible for teams to two-ply Chris Bosh in the low post. A 50 win seasonable and top 3 seed in the East are real possibilities. However, if you don’t assume trust to him, then you can expect him to play roughly 30 games, look large in some and mediocre in others, and without any real backup to defend his minutes, you will find this team struggling to set upon the playoffs and more likely than not, in the lottery next year. You arbitrate.
The Rotation7 Andrea Bargnani C 22 7-0 250 $5,176,440
He looks bigger, stronger, angrier, and more distinct than he has ever looked before in North America. Dependable, there are you tube videos of his play in Italy, where he looks like a potency superstar, but since his arrival to the NBA, there has only ever been one 8 minute span where Andrea Bargnani looked like a #1 draw up pick and il mago he was touted as. In the first 8 minutes of diversion six against NJ in the 2007 playoffs, Andrea looked like the trusted deal- but since that point, no one really knows what happened. But this preseason has been a very encouraging trace for Raptors fans. Yes, Andrea has often put up 14-18 points a spirited BUT what really should have Raptors fans fidgety is HOW he is scoring his points: Andrea is scoring his points as a litter man and not as a magician. Andrea is scoring with his back to the basket, posting up players, irresistible bigger men off the dribble, tipping in rebounds, and stepping in from behind the arc to take the higher part 2 pointer instead of jacking up 3s! Yes Raptors fans, IF (and this is a big IF) Andrea continues to perform upon like a 7 footer, then not only will he be a valuable 6th man on a contending collaborate, but he will force defenders to guard him “up close-knit,” allowing him to use his excellent first reduce intervene and ball handling skills to swell past big, bulky defenders (which in find will open up space for him to shoot uncontested jumpers).
24 Jason Kapono SF 27 6-8 215 UCLA $5,784,480
If Sam Mitchell unwavering to use Kapono, he could really be a valuable asset. Putting aside his craft 3point % numbers or his back to back victories at the 3 emphasize contest at the all star break and upright focusing in on Kapono’s ability to dash the ball from anywhere on the court, Kapono has a pursuit field goal percentage of 45%. With a backcourt of Calderon and AP and Kapono on the wings, it would be in essence impossible for teams to double down low against Bosh and JO. It does seem queer that a guy who shoots over 45% in his career from the amaze and from behind the arc cant get more burn on a team that likes to “jack up” shots?
43 Kris Humphries PF 23 6-9 235 Minnesota $3,200,000
Although Humprhies will never be a starter in this conspire, on a team like this one, Kris Humphries can take energy and grit for 10-12 minutes a blackness. How can you not love this guy’s energy? After all, he averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds a sunset last season in 13 minutes a dissimulate. However, as the “energy guy” Humphries is at the benignity of the success and failures of the other players. This means that since Bargnani is the first big off the bench, Humphries will find his minutes only on nights when il mago falters or when the link up as a whole needs a kick in the butt.
