1. Chris Bosh He's a hell of a young player. He does it all. He's athletic as hell, he plays very hard, he's long and athletic, his shooting touch and range is underrated by many, he's a good kid, and he has progressed as a player and leader beautifully. 2. Anthony Parker He's the swingman version of Ryan Gomes. What I mean by that is that he's so damn solid. He does a little bit of everything, he's pretty consistent, he plays defense, he's a very fundamentally sound player. I just really like his game. I didn't know anything about him coming into this season, but I've grown to REALLY like him. 3. T.J. Ford A very crafty player. He has great ball skills and he's obviously an excellent passer. He's quick as hell, good penetrator, very athletic, and his jumper is improving a ton. He's definitely one of the top young guards in the league. He runs that team nicely. 4. Joey Graham I just really liked this kid a lot coming out of Oklahoma State. He's a freak athlete, he's built like a bull, he is a hustler. The defense in college was excellent. So far in the NBA, his development hasn't been at the level I thought it would at this point, but he's still young. I hope he improves and becomes the player I think he can become. 5. Morris Peterson I like Mo-Pete a lot. He's a Celtic killer and a half but I still like him. He's a dynamite shooter when he's feeling it and he can score in bunches. His defense is a little underrated as well, IMO. His on-ball anticipation is very solid.
Bosh is my favorite raptor ever but I honestly don't think he should of been a starter in all stars, I just remembered this

I even acknowledged that his development isn't where it should be. And yes I have seen the Raps quite a bit, but again - just because Joey Graham isn't a top 5 player on the team, doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to like him.

CB4, dude you asked for people's FAVORITE players instead of who's better and what not. It just so happens that SunnyD's favorite Raptors player is Mo Pete. Notice how I put Jose at #3 and TJ at #4, just because I enjoy watching Jose more than TJ.Just wanted to clarify some things.

^Thank you for pointing that out, Zards..And YES, this is your favorites, not who you think is best CB4. Ronnie Turiaf is my favorite Laker, doesn't mean he's the best. 1. Chris Bosh2. Andrea Bargnani3. TJ Ford4. Anthony Parker5. Jose Calderon
1. Bargnani2. Bosh3. Parker4. Peterson5. CalderonI'm really starting to get frustrated with TJ Ford as of late. He's starting to play more like Mike James and less like a point guard. Last night was a perfect example with him throwing up that last second lay up. His job is to get the ball into the hands of a shooter - not take the last second shot himself. I would've felt much better if Bosh, Bargnani, Parker or Peterson were taking the shot.
1. Bosh: How can you not like this kid? He's a great player with a great head on his shoulders. 2. Calderon: Love watching him play for some reason, not sure why. Impressed me off the bench so far this year. 3. Graham: Don't know why I like this kid. He reminded me a lot of Tony Allen coming out of OK State. Powerful, athletic, tough, solid rebounding, good slashing, plays hard, hustles, solid defender while at OK State. Very versatile G/F. Like I said, reminded me a lot of Allen, which is probably why I like Graham, because I love Tony. 4. Mo Pete: I always thought he was underrated, but now that I think about it, that could just be because he trashes the Celtics all the time. 5. Ford: Solid point man. Great penetrator, good passer, etc. Love watching him run this team.Also this thread just shows how much of a dipshit CB4 is. It's about your favorite players, not who is the best. Grow a pair kid.

I'll keep my thoughts to myself from now on.
1. BoshHow about leading our team?, Besides anyone that proves all the media and draft pick analysts wrong has to be on my good side. Not to mention his constant loyalty to the Raptors.2. Juan Dixon (eh just joking) My 2nd is Calderon as well.I love how Calderon really worked on his game over the summer, developed a jump shot and has really stayed loyal to this franchise even though he could be a starting PG for most teams around the league.3. Mo PeteHe is also a definition of a loyal Raptor, he wants to finish his career with us, and you think would get bored after 7 years of losing. 4. Andrea BargnaniI love this kidd! I love his work ethic, his strive to do better. I remember him on draft day, the first thing he said to because, was 'lets get to work'. He is really showing up for us and will become anywhere between a solid role player and a star in the NBA.5. TJ Ford/ Anthony ParkerSorry I couldn't choose one...but I nearly forgot parker!As much as I bang him for getting the start over JC at times, I love this guy, he really started a new career with us, and has found a home here. I would never go back on the CV3 trade.As for Parker, you dont know how much I love this guy, I think he a reason we are in the playoff hunt. He is a real real great addition by because, and I think could be one of the best signings for him next to Ford. He just does what he does, an amazing defender, and knows the game of basketball. He knows leadership, he knows how to play like a team.
