Toronto Raptors

Players to Watch: DeMar DeRozan, Amir Johnson, Terrence Ross, Jordan Hamilton

Notable changes from last year: In addition to the sneaker-loving trio of DeMar DeRozan, Amir Johnson and Terrence Ross, the Raptors added Louis Williams and Jordan Hamilton this past offseason. The former rocked some of the better LeBron PEs we’ve seen in our Kicks On Court coverage before his injury, and the latter brought out a number of Prelude Kobes during his days in Denver. Kyle Lowry switched to adidas, and journeyman James Johnson will be one to look out for should he receive ample playing time.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Players to Watch: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook

Notable changes from last year: Once Kevin Durant returns to the court, we will see a number of KD7 in the Thunder color scheme, but don’t think for a second that you won’t see KD7s all over the league before then. Russell Westbrook gave us plenty of looks at the Air Jordan XX9 on court during the NBA Playoffs, but expect to see new color schemes of the XX9 on his feet this season.
