For some reason I'm really excited about seeing this guy in a Raptors uniform - when I think of the new-look Raps, Stan pops into my head. I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment, as he's not that exciting of a player, but if he and OG can brigade 48 minutes of solid play at the 3 - and I think they can - we're going to be in pretty good shape.
A few reasons for optimism:
1. He's still so damn young - oh to be 23 again!
2. Defense - he's been solid but it's a skill that gets honed over a few years in the league.
3. Shooting - he's been horrible but this is another skill that CAN get better with time. It really seems like he's been dead set on becoming a 3-point threat (he's shot over six 3s a game for his career), time for practice to start translating into games.
