Linas Kleiza News

The Toronto Raptors are projected to have the number eight pick in this June's upcoming draft, though of course it could be a bit lower or as high as number one.

RaptorSpace February 3, 2011 The Toronto Raptors announced Thursday forward Linas Kleiza underwent arthroscopic surgery yesterday to address both a meniscal tear and chondral defect of his right knee.

Current Toronto has three players slotted at the power forward position in Andrea Bargnani , Amir Johnson and Ed Davis , and has two other forwards who have performed better at the 4 spot, than elsewhere on the court - James Johnson and Linas Kleiza .

The Toronto Raptors had a very successful season in many fans' eyes. They surpassed last season's win total by one in 16 fewer games, and that is a huge plus speaking for itself.

It usually takes a higher draft pick to be an instant starter, and that holds true here as all five of these players will be drafted in the first 10 picks.

I figured I'd write an article talking about what Dwane Casey did for the team this year, but this guy already did a decent enough job so I defer.

Based on Bryan Colangelo's presser on Friday morning, it seems that he's raring to go.
