| Re: Forward Delfino drops like a stone on the Toronto Raptors' depth chart Just got to add that I've watched Delfino a lot now that he's playing for the Raptors and it took Sam Mitchell quite awhile to figure out that Fino is a laid back personality both on and off the court but he still gives you energy and that X-factor that every team needs. I think the Pistons are missing that piece and maybe Joe will go out and get it before the trading deadline, otherwise it's going to be a long season for the Pistons.
Carlos was offered a contract by Toronto before the deadline and he turned it down because this will be one of his few opportunities in his career to have control of his destiny. He told the Raptors to hold off and let him just play out this year because he wanted to earn his next contract so good for him. It doesn't matter to Carlos if he starts he wants to be a part of the rotation and play solid minutes. I read the Raptors boards and slowly but surely Carlos is picking up his own fan base and becoming a fan favorite. I had him pencilled in for Most Improved Player this year and he's certainly in the running for that. |
