5 Raptors beloved by fans for their hard work

2 of 6

Reggie Evans

Coming via trade to the Raptors before the 2009 season, Reggie Evans already had a reputation for his hard working, aggressive style of play, a style that would endear himself to Raptors’ supporters for the two years he spent in Toronto.

He only averaged 3.9 points per game and 7.8 rebounds per game during his time with the Raptors, but they were the toughest stats earned on a nightly basis in the NBA. While on the floor, Evans would fight for loose balls, compete hard on defense, and grab rebounds with a combination of skill and unmatched effort.

He was a breath of fresh air for fans suffering through some lean years in the standings.
