44. Cory Joseph

How could Cory Joseph not be loved in Toronto?  He is a Torontonian after all!  After winning the NBA Title with San Antonio, Joseph would become a Raptor and play for his hometown team.  The Guard has been used mostly off of the bench and has done well for Toronto especially in clutch situations.  Joseph was traded after two seasons to Indiana, and he averaged 8.9 Points per Game as a Raptor.
The starting Small Forward for the Raptors in the 1996-97 season, Walt Williams would have a 16.4 Points per Game campaign.  That year, his 5.0 Rebounds per Game season would be the most productive of his career.

36. Jalen Rose

On the surface, this might seem like a very low rank for a player that average over 17 Points per Game in his near 200 game career as a Raptor, and in his lone complete season with the North he averaged 18.5 PPG, a more than respectable tally.  That being said, Rose’s advanced metrics were appalling and he let in far more points than he scored…remember Kobe’s 81?  A 0.5 VORP and sub 15 PER are not good tallies for someone who is supposed to be one of your top guys.

41. Matt Bonner

Before the “Red Rocket” became a fan favorite in San Antonio, he was a Toronto Raptor where he too was a beloved by the Raptors faithful.
