    6. Doug Christie: Known for his defense, Christie was an integral part of the Raptors’ early years and helped the team reach its first playoff series.

    Honestly not bad. 1 through 6 checks out, though I’d swap Bosh and Siakam and Demar and Vince. Fred, OG and Ibaka definitely have to be somewhere there though
