In answer to the first question he faced on media day as a Raptor, Goran Dragiu0107 invoked the name Steve Nash, which surely endeared him to some segment of basketball fans in the country.
A few minutes later, Dragiu0107 wanted to assure fans he never considered wearing his familiar No. 7 in Toronto because it will probably be hanging from the rafters of the arena one day as an homage to his pal, Kyle Lowry.
And if that didn’t take some of the sting away from any ill feelings fans might have toward him after comments, perhaps taken out of context, about his willingness to play in Toronto, those were met head-on and put to rest.
