Kawhi Leonard is the best option here, lead us to our first championship
Vinsanity is the only true answer
Lowry is THE raptor. The best Raptor was Vince Carter by a long shot.
Scottie will hopefully take that title soon
Kawhi was the best on a very great team. Still think it’s Vince
Kawhi easy
This is why best and greatest should be separated, since Kawhi is clearly the best Raptor while Lowry is the greatest
If we define best as “Greatest individual season” then it’s Kawhi
He isn’t the GROAT, and his placement amongst the greatest Raptors is uniquely difficult to evaluate but his regular season and playoff run are statistically amongst the best for any player to ever play for Toronto
Regular – 26.6/7.3/3.3 w/1.8 steals, 0.4 blocks
Playoffs – 30.5/9.1/3.9 w/1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks
Pretty clearly Kawhi
Peep my flair & profile pic
DeMarre? Not PJ Tucker?
I understand “best” can refer to a single season high but….it feels criminal to not have Lowry on this list at all. Also, if that is our definition of “best”, then what do we do with “worst”. You could literally pick from many no-name players who only played a single game with the Raps. I would pick a player who played an inexplicable amount of games with us in relation to their talent level (like a Pat McCaw).
All of this to say, I pick the GROAT, Mr. Big Booty, KLOE
Love Lowry and he’s still the GROAT for helping lay the groundwork that lead us to that title…but Best has to go to Kawhi. It’s not even really close. Like this dude was a straight monster and I finally understood the hype after that playoff run. There aren’t a lot of superstars his calibre that are also two way players. If he were more durable then maybe he’d even have at least one MVP.
