The best player in Toronto Raptors history is probably Chris Bosh, followed by Vince Carter and maybe current point guard Kyle Lowry. However, the franchise’s all-time points leader – among other categories – is DeMar DeRozan, and he makes his return to Toronto on Friday night for the first time since his stunning trade this summer to the San Antonio Spurs.

In July, the Raptors sent their All-Star guard DeRozan along with young center Jakob Poeltl and a 2019 protected first-round pick to San Antonio for Spurs All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard, guard Danny Green and some cash. It might have been the rare trade to work out for both teams.

Leonard is the better overall player and is playing at an MVP level as he has the Raptors battling for the NBA’s best record. Green is also having a good year. DeRozan is having his probably best overall season and has San Antonio currently seventh in the West – still better than many projected following the trade.
