Guard – Kyle Lowry

A late bloomer, Kyle Lowry was just a role player for the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets in the first six years of his career. When he was traded to the Raptors in 2012, he was just a backup to Jose Calderon in his first season. However, Lowry turned it around and became one of the best point guards in the league, and in franchise history.

Lowry is a three-time All-Star for the Raptors and he was even named to the All-NBA Third Team in 2016. He ranks fourth in all-time points, sixth in rebounds, second in assists, soon-to-be-first in steals, first in three-pointers made, and fifth in total field goals made. He will climb the all-time ladder if he stays in Toronto and his No. 7 jersey will surely be retired by the Raptors.

Honorable Mention: Guard – Jose Calderon

Spending eight seasons with the Raptors, Jose Calderon is one of the best Raptors ever. He will have his jersey retired by the franchise someday. Calderon ranks third in total games played for the Raptors, seventh in points, first in assists, seventh in steals, sixth in three-pointers made, and first in free throw percentage.
