In the NBA’s current era of short-term contracts, when two-fifths of all players were free agents this summer, it’s rare to see anyone – let alone a role player – stick around for years with a single team. Toronto Raptors fans know that first-hand, as the franchise has cycled through one wing shooter after another over the years – from Jason Kapono, Jamario Moon, and Sonny Weems to Steve Novak, DeMarre Carroll, and Danny Green.
That’s why Raptors fans can appreciate Morris Peterson as much as any player in franchise history.
