Jamario Moon, Raptors

This 27-year-old rookie is quickly becoming one of the feel-good stories of the season. Undrafted out of a Mississippi junior college in 2001, he spent the next six years bouncing around the WBA, NBDL, ABA, CBA, USBL and even the Harlem Globetrotters before finally getting noticed by the Raptors at a June tryout camp. An incredible athlete in the Shawn Marion mold, the 6-8 small forward started ahead of Jason Kapono the last two games and combined to record 27 points, nine rebounds and five steals.
