The Toronto Raptors might have been ousted in the first round of the N-B-A playoffs, but Nick Nurse called it a "great season." Expectations were low for what he called a "funky roster" of mainly six-foot-eight players who'd be asked to play all positions. And virtually every one of them improved as the season went on, particularly N-B-A rookie of the year Scottie Barnes, and all-star forward Pascal Siakam.
