Raptors Player Review: The almost-lost season of DeMarre Carroll

Related Topics: DeMarre Carroll, Terrence Ross

The Raptor signed DeMarre Carroll to be a dynamic two-way wing with a playoff pedigree. Unfortunately, due to multiple injuries, the result was far from expectations.

When I look back at this season for DeMarre Carroll, two distinct thoughts come to mind -- that I'm happy to have a player of his skill-set on the Raptors, and that we haven't even brushed the surface of what he can bring.

Carroll was signed last off-season to a 4-year, $60 million deal to fill the Terrence Ross-sized hole in the roster – a capable wing defender with an outside threat, a guy who can bring some toughness to a position where the Raptors desperately needed it.
