Who is the tallest player to have played for the Toronto Raptors?



Nope.

Marc isn't even a seven-footer.

I could have sworn he was over 7 feet.

The Raptors have had a few 'legitimate' 7 footers, (ie: barefoot measurement). Most of them were stiffs.

Answered by tml

I cannot believe that in the history of this franchise that only 4 players have ever had 100 point seasons. Let's take the Buffalo Sabres in comparison. They have had 5 different players score 100 points in a season - Lafontaine, Perreault, Mogilny, Turgeon and Rene Robert. Hawerchuk came very close at 98. The Nordiques/Avalanche franchise has had 8 - P. Stastny, J. Richard, M. Goulet, J. Sakic, M. Sundin, P. Forsberg, N. MacKinnon and M. Rantanen. M. Hejduk was close with 98 one season.

Toe Blake is a close second, so it was a good guess. Not many coaches spend a whole career with one team.

Answer: Mike Knuble.

I remember him on Washington but I don't remember him playing with Gretzky. That's a toughie.
