Re: the raptors big-men of the past:
Moiso would've have been ok if he wasnt so lazy. I remember one play where he was inbounding the ball and passed the ball hand-to-hand resulting in a turnover.

Re: the raptors big-men of the past:
I think the best big man line ups we had was when - Antonio Davis, Charles Oakley, and Kevin Willis. Then Willis left and we had Keon Clarkk

Re: the raptors big-men of the past:
Jerome Moiso had a lot of potential, he just couldn't put it all together, I thought Jelani Mccoy was decent, he was better than Hoffa at least and I think he averaged a double double when he started

Re: the raptors big-men of the past:
Speaking of former big men, Loren Woods apparently has a chip on his shoulder, claiming he didn't get enough tick on the court.
Forget Charlie this season, when Woodsy gets angry, there's no stopping him.

I love everything about him, I love his game, I love his work ethic. He definitely has my approval - Kobe Bryant"

Not a bad big men rotation back in the day, minus Jerome Williams whom I felt was much more effective as a small forward.
Keon Clark was on the verge of earning a 10-mil/year type of contracts had he continued to improve like he did in Toronto, coming over to Sacramento. Alot of us were seriously peeved that the Raptors couldn't match SAC's contract offer, much alone letting him leave for nothing.
Montross was arguably best, purest C. Shame that he had to end his career due to injuries (Michael Bradley was never the same once he saw his benchmate go down).
In any case, the Davis/Oakley frontcourt has been our best frontcourt up to date. With those two leading the way the Raptors were a top 5 team in rebounding.
edit: here are some more names:
Lonny Baxter
Robert Archibald
Corie Blount

He was hilariously terrible at the pick-and-roll. He'd often follow the guard all the way past the 3 point line for 10 seconds.

Re: the raptors big-men of the past:
Can't believe I forgot about the Big 'O.
Knowing what you know now, would anyone here still do the Camby/Oakley swap?
