Starting Shooting Guard: Morris Peterson

Honorable Mentions: Anthony Parker, Terrence Ross

Like Cory Joseph, Morris Peterson was a true professional who worked his tail off. He was ready for any role and flourished despite getting the start or coming off the bench.

Morris Peterson excited the Raptor crowd through his patented blind-folded lay-ups in which his headband would fall over his eyes. He also had the building going crazy through big time threes, and providing a spark when the offence got complacent.

Peterson had a knack for hitting acrobatic shots with contact.

Mo Pete often gets forgotten in discourse of greatest Raptors because he was overshadowed by Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady then later on Chris Bosh.

Don’t worry Mo Pete, I  will be the one to sing your praises. You are one of the most cold blooded players in Raptors history and forever my favorite Raptor of all time.

This big shot paired with the call from legendary broadcaster Chuck Swirsky is just golden.
