In terms of traditional metrics, the second season that Rafer Alston had in Toronto was one of the best of his career.  Alston had a career high 14.2 Points per Game and his 6.4 Assists per Game was the second best of his career.  Alston would later become the starting Point Guard in Houston for a few seasons but it was in Canada where he proved he could be a starter.

Charles Oakley came to Toronto and provided the toughness and veteran leadership that the young Raptors team needed.  He wasn’t the same player that he was with the New York Knicks but he was the force needed to keep the young team in check and was invaluable in that role.

With the Toronto Raptors for two seasons, seven foot Slovenian, Rasho Nesterovic would become well regarded for his no nonsense style of play.  Nesterovic was not a scoring machine but was adept at rebound and blocking and would put up solid defense.

He only played one season for the Toronto Raptors and never started a game for them but in that year, he averaged 15.5 Points per Game with a very good PER of 19.9.  Williams was rewarded for his accomplishments as the NBA Sixth Man Player of the Year.
