Crazy deep? Say what?

One star: Bosh
Three solid players: Ford, Calderon, Parker
Two solid role players: Kapono, Garbajosa
One guy who could be either of the above two categories this coming year: Bargnani

The rest are marginal pros and castoffs - Rasho, Dixon, Delfino, etc.

Five players worth caring about and a couple of decent role players does not a "crazy deep" team make. If Bosh misses 20 games with his injured knee, the Raptors will have a really tough time making the playoffs.

Other solid role players: Humphries (in league leaders in boards per 48 min.), Graham (time to step up), I think Delfino will be nice in T.O. as he hardly played on quality Pistons teams, Dixon is an above average combo guard sub-in.

Baston, Moon and Jackson are all decent and could see some minutes.

For example:

Nov 4 --> Celts @ Raps

-Bosh and Garnett will about cancel each other out
-Garbo will do a decent job of defending pierce
-Parker will do a good job on Allen
-Rondo will get killed by T.J/Calderon
-Bargnani will be all over Perkins on the offensive end, shooting 3s and displaying his improving post foot work.
-Bring in Kapono, Dixon, Humphries, Graham and Delfino to own the C's bench...
... and it looks like a Raptors W.
