What’s up Raptors Rapture readers? This is your new friendly neighborhood staff writer, Eldrinson Vado. I’m here today to kick off our new weekly series called “Twitter Round-Up.” A lot can happen over the course of seven days and the purpose of this series is to cover all the rumblings and happenings related to the Toronto Raptors.

A site called Twitter, which I’m sure you mostly all know of, is the unprecedented social media platform for breaking news, opinions and analysis when it comes to sports.  The realm of Twitter sports, specifically “Raptors Twitter,” is always active. Our new weekly blog post will include everything from roster transactions to hilarious tweets from the players. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the best Raptors Twitter has to offer.


Norman Powell: Summer League First Team

Our 2015 second-round draft pick out of UCLA was busy making some noise out in Las Vegas. Announced on July 19th were the first and second All-NBA Vegas Summer League Teams. After averaging 18.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, Powell was selected to the first All-NBA VSL team.

New Look Logo

The new look Raptors logo is still getting mixed reviews at this point of the off-season. Personally the red, white and black colour scheme doesn’t do it for me. What does though is the purple and white look created by “Lowry7,” over at r/TorontoRaptors. Lowry7’s design with DeMar DeRozan is mint. I’ve always been a fan of the purple Raptors jerseys, so the purple and white colour scheme on the new logo works for me. What do you think?


New Jerseys Leaked?

A collection of new 2015-16 NBA alternative jerseys were leaked and shared at r/NBA. More importantly though is that new Toronto Raptors jerseys are included in the leak. My initial reaction was “meh.” Nothing bold or out of the ordinary. Take a look…


Drake, Cojo, The 6

“I get a ring and I bring it home like I’m Cory Jo” – Drake

Cory Joseph hasn’t even played a single game for the Raptors and he’s already getting name dropped in Drake’s tracks! Respect!

Just announced yesterday was Cory Joseph‘s number change. The Canadian guard will now be rocking the number 6 in a Raptors uniform. It’s only makes sense right!

So here is a slick design created by “source24designs” at r/TorontoRaptors. Now, those possible new look Drake Raptors jerseys are something I can get behind. A must buy in my opinion.

Raptors Returning To London

Announced this past week was the return of the Toronto Raptors to London, England. The regular season international match is set for January 14th, 2016 vs. the Orland Magic.


Pan-Am Basketball: Team Canada

Even though the gold medal match didn’t pan out as we wanted it too, our staff writer, Lindsay Dunn was able to relish in the Pan-Am festivities. Lindsay was at both the semi-final and final of the Pan-Am Men’s Basketball tournament.


How The Raptors Were Built

Bobby Marks, this summer’s basketball twitter star, tweeted an infographic on how all 30 teams in the NBA were built. The Toronto Raptors’ avenue of acquiring players under Masai Uriji involves both the draft and the free agency market. Take a look
