Not a single Raptor player looked to improve this season and the guys they have outside of Bargnani would be hard pressed to crack the top 9 on most good teams.
Valciniius has been built up as some sort of great prospect but he still has a ton to prove and likely struggles whether good or not.
Casey seems to be the one positive this team has and if they had been able to get a top 3 pick perhaps with him coaching that would be enough but with the incompetent management, borderline awful talent and little to no improvement I don't see the play-offs for at least 2-3 years.

Great prospect break down Moon. Likely struggles whether good or not. Genius....Most scouts actually have him making quite an impact on his first season since he was playing in a league with players much older then him this season. I love how you try and force your arguments by always stating that it's Toronto fans who are building up these players, when it's been the media outside of Toronto saying all these things.
With a healthy Bargnani this year, I think they could have competed for a playoff spot easily. And save me the Bargnani isn't even good enough to crack the top 9 on other teams. You know so little about basektball, your arguments are never statistically based or detailed, it's all your overblown opinions.
They went from the 30th ranked defensive team to the 4th in the league I believe. Players took some big steps forward on the defensive side of the ball. Calderon improved and had a very strong season when healthy. Another high draft pick this season, cap space (Yes you don't like Collangelo I get it) and the amnesty clause. With a little bit more talent, the Raptors could easily compete for a playoff spot with Casey as a coach next season in the weak eastern conference.
And here is my super positivity for the Toronto teams: The Blue Jays are a good baseball team with the chance for a great future (A similar belief shared by many in the baseball world) This was a productive season for the Raptors, I like where this team is headed, with a solid offseason they could contend for a playoff spot. A thought again, shared by many in the basketball world. Give your head a shake
