Toronto Raptors: stop comparing DeMarre Carroll to Jerome Williams

Since today is National Dog Day (or something…) the Toronto Raptors took to Twitter to add some humour in the form of a tweet about the Junkyard Dog, Jerome Williams. Harmlessly, the team tweeted a picture of Williams beside a picture of the newly signed DeMarre Carroll. While the comparison makes sense in some ways, we should avoid calling Carroll ‘Junkyard Dog 2.0′ because he will be so much more than that identity for the Raptors.

To be fair, both players have a lot in common. They are both known for gritty defensive effort and a willingness to do whatever it takes to help their team succeed.
