[Grange] “Right after we lost, I was on the bus back to the hotel and called Jama and got it figured out … this is the Raptors, this my team, my home, I wanted to be there with my teammates. … I wanted to show that I’m all in,” — RJ Barrett on training with Raps after the Olympics.

Heart of the team
I’m so excited for a full year with him
Future MVP right there
I know the general consensus is that it’s Scotties team and he’s the franchise player but RJ could very well be a dark horse going forward.
Like he says here, he’s motivated af… Balling for the team he supported growing up, playing in the city where he was raised and living close to his family. That’s like the dream for a player and a dream for the FO.
Build RJ a court right now – this man wants to play for the raptors
Can’t believe there are some Raptor fans that want this dude traded. Its awesome to finally have some home-grown talent on the team that can play. I loved rooting for both Shai and RJ during the Olympics this summer.
He’s like DeeBo and K-Low rolled into one
Hope he plays out the remainder of his career – especially the prime years – in Toronto!
It would be amazing to have a true local boy be a franchise legend.
All aboard the RJ Express!!!
It’s so nice to have guys who actually want to be here
Safe to say he takes the baton from pascal as Mr Toronto
It’s not your team, it’s Scotties.
