Raptors Retrospective: Morris Peterson

Selected 21st overall in the 2000 NBA Draft, Morris Peterson began his 11 year NBA career with the Toronto Raptors. He spent his first seven seasons with the team and though his role fluctuated throughout his tenure, he remained a fan favourite. To this day, Mo Pete remains the all-time franchise leader in games played, 5th in points scored, and 1st in three point field goals.

Peterson operated as a swingman, playing both the shooting guard and small forward positions. Always a consistent source of perimeter shooting and defense, Morris thrived as a role player and eventual leader in Toronto.
