Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
We’ll say this much: if Bamba can’t make it in Toronto, he may not be able to make it anywhere.
For starters, the Raptors’ developmental program is highly regarded. Players tend to succeed with this organization. With Bamba’s potential, he shouldn’t be an exception.
Moreover, the Raptors have a specific need for a player like Bamba. As constructed, they don’t have a rim-protecting big man like Bamba outside of rookie Christian Koloko.
Bamba’s unique wingspan will come in handy when the Raptors need to shut down the paint.

Finally, his ability to space the floor means they don’t have to modify their half-court sets too much to accommodate him. Bamba’s game is extremely portable in that regard – he should be able to fit with any team in the NBA.
He may just need a change of scenery in order to prove it.
