The Toronto Raptors official season thread 2011-2012

Some thoughts on the non surprising bad start.

Bargnani: He has been great when healthy, he is playing very good man defense and shooting smart shots, he still is a bad help defender but has played very well.

Calderon: He is who we know he is: simply a good PG but is a stop gap
Rasual Butler: Playing good defense but can't hit a shot to save his life also a stop gap more than anything

James Johnson: Has looked like a great defender but isn't more than a 10-15 MPG rotational player next year hopefully, his offense hasn't devoloped like i hoped.

DeMar DeRozan: He seems to be asked too do too much I like him but he doesn't seem to be a viable primary scoring guy, ideally he is taking 8-10 shots, they run a lot of sets for him and for obvious reasons they have limited offensive threats. He was playing a lot better before the Bargnani injury. All that being said I am still sold on him as a legitimate starter and I have confidence he gets out of his slump soon.

Ed Davis: There has been no player that has underachieved on the team more than Davis, he often looks overmatched on both ends, and looks too have no confidence now, he can't really create his own shot and been exposed. I still think he can be a good role bench player down the line but I have lost almost all hope that he can be a viable starter in the NBA.
