Guard – DeMar DeRozan

Although his unlikely trade to the San Antonio Spurs was surprising, there is no doubt that DeMar DeRozan is a Raptors legend. DeRozan spent nine seasons with the Raptors and blossomed into one of the best scorers in the NBA. He was a four-time All-Star during his time in Toronto, starting twice.

DeRozan holds the top spot in some of the Raptors franchise records including games played, most minutes played, points scored, field goals made, and free throws made. He ranks fifth in rebounds, third in assists and steals. He is still bitter about his trade but his No. 10 jersey will eventually get retired by the Raptors once he hangs up his sneakers.

Honorable Mention: Guard – Alvin Williams

An integral part of the Raptors’ early success in the Vince Carter Era, Alvin Williams was a gritty guard that was the heart of the team. He played eight seasons with the Raptors and he hit one of the most iconic shots in franchise history during the 2001 NBA Playoffs against the New York Knicks.
