    In the daily round-robin scrimmages at Raptor practice, an unheralded group came out on top yesterday, an occurrence that had coach Sam Mitchell singing their praises.</p>

    The team of Darrick Martin, Luke Jackson, Joey Graham, Kris Humphries and Maceo Baston beat two other teams, said Mitchell, who is usually reticent to discuss the specifics of practice.</p>

    "They played outstanding," the coach said.</p>

    A second team comprised T.J. Ford, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, Chris Bosh and Andrea Bargnani while the third had Jose Calderon, Carlos Delfino, Jason Kapono, Jorge Garbajosa and Rasho Nesterovic. Juan Dixon didn't practice because he was sick.</div></p>

    more shocking is moon being on that "Starting" lineup team</p>

    yeah i read the other article about moon possibly being a starter, but i didnt believe(especially since i think its still a strong possibilty that he's get the axe)</p>

    Welcome to the forum kool_breeze, I hope you enjoy it.</p>

    It's pretty neat that the 'third stringers' beat up on the other guys yesterday but we are talking about practice and against each other.</p>

    As far as the starting SF, everyday someone else is proclaimmed the starter. I actually don't think we'll see a consistant starter in place for the first few weeks of the season until someone steps up and takes the position for themselves.</p>

    Welcome to the site kool_breeze. You joined just in time for the regular season.

    I doubt Moon gets much time unless we have some injuries or people Mitchell just gets plain fed up with some of our players (Joey Graham, Carlos Delfino, etc.). This talk of him being a starter is just pointless rumours.</p>
