1. Kyle Lowry 2012=present
So Kyle Lowry has gone from instead of getting Steve Nash got who what to the best all round best player in franchise history. He is an all around player as he is third in points (9649), leads in assists (3905), leads in steals (816). Lowry has not only changed the history of the franchise but changed what people thought of him as he was thrown out of both Memphis and Houston because he was not a team guy to becoming a team leader and 6 time all-star.
2. DeMar DeRozan 2009-2018
DeMar DeRozan is a great player who has improved every season he has been in the nba and is the all-time leader in points (13296), third in assists (2078), third in steals (655). DeRozan has proven 2 change the history of the team by the way he played and then traded for that final piece.
3. kawhi Leonard championship season
Kawhi Leonard was the final piece to get to the NBA playoffs finals and along with some guy named Lebron Raymond James headed to the western conference, He knew his body best and sat out regular season games rubbing players, media, and fans alike but when the playoffs he was ready lead the raptors to the Larry o b with his focus and defense. He was in the north 1 season but gave everybody everything he had and i respect him because i do not know how it feels living in 100 degree weather for the first 25 plus years and then living in a canadian winter (what a culture shock).
4. Chris Bosh 2003-10
Chris Bosh was the star of the raptors darkest era in their franchise history between the downfall of vince carter and the arrival of Dwayne Casey with one great season (2006-07). That season ended in misery as Vince Carter dancing on the raptors hopes and dreams as he won his other playoff series by beating the Raptors as a member of the nets. Chris is the all time leader in blocks (600), rebounds (4776), and second in points (10275).
5. Vince Carter 1998-05
Most people would put air canada 1 or 2 because vinsanity was so cool but that is 3 seasons of 6 plus season in toronto. After signing his extinction he became injury prone but that is not point it was his reaction to them rolling around on the court and then come out like he was a savvier and would happen time and time again. I got tried of the act and what if he made a phone call and asked north carolina and asked them to hold onto his diploma til the summer and rested for game 7 in Philadelphia . If he was more motivated he probably would of not been best but with his pure talent and his flare he could of been one of the faces for a lot longer and would of had more than 2 playoff wins (1 with toronto 1 with nets). He is the most talented raptor but lacked the desire to make himself a better player and being remembered as a much more talented player than just a dunker.
