The Toronto Raptors are looking good at the start of the NBA regular season. However, their two consecutive losses against top contenders Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors proves to be that they are missing the services of Bismack Biyombo. Rumors now are saying that they are targeting the services of 76ers Nerlens Noel or Thunder Enes Kanter. Currently holding a 7-4 record, they are seated at 4th spot in Eastern Conference and seems to be heading to another breakout season. But with defeats with the Cavs and Warriors, they are said to be one player down to contend with them.

1 pick and immediately traded him to the Golden State Warriors for Hardaway and three first-round draft picks. The Warriors had chosen Hardaway with the third overall pick in the same draft. (Shawn Bradley went to the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 2.) In an effort to ease Hardaway's adjustment to playing point guard in the NBA, Magic Coach Brian Hill started him at off guard for the first half of his rookie season. Hill eventually moved Hardaway to the point, and the 21-year-old rookie finished with averages of 16.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

He averaged 20.9 points and 7.2 assists, started in the 1995 NBA All-Star Game, and helped the Magic to the best record (57-25) in the Eastern Co...
