Season wrap

The roster revamp continues, starting with the Raptors first-ever number one pick of the NBA draft, Andrea Bargnani. The Raptors pick up T.J. Ford to play the point. The Raptors start slowly but eventually pick it up and finished 47-35 on the campaign and first in the Atlantic division, earning them the third seed and home court advantage in the playoffs. But they lose 4g-2 to the New Jersey Nets and ex-teammate Vince Carter. Sam Mitchell is named NBA coach of the year and Chris Bosh is selected an NBA second team all-star, Andrea Bargnani and Jorge Garbajosa are both named to the NBA All-Rookie first team and Bryan Colangelo is named NBA executive of the year.
