In five years, Masai Ujiri took the Toronto Raptors from the laughingstock of the NBA to a consistent contender ranking among the NBA’s elite. Here are three reasons Masai has been great for Toronto.
If you ask the average fan who the most valuable member of the Toronto Raptors is, you will likely get one of two responses: Kyle Lowry or Kawhi Leonard. If you ask those same fans who the greatest Raptor of all-time is, they will likely say four-time All-Star Demar DeRozan. However, a case can be made that the most valuable member of the Toronto Raptors has never played a minute of NBA basketball.
