In 19 years of existence, the Toronto Raptors have had a lot of talented players come north of the border to play for the NBA's only Canadian team. One of the positions where the Raptors have a rich history in is power forwards, so deciding who the Raptors all-time power forwards are was a tough chore. But the task is complete, and here are the top five power forwards in team history.

Oakley came to the Raptors via trade in 1998, and he brought a tough and menacing presence to a Toronto team that really needed it at the time. Oakley was a major reason why Toronto was able to score the franchise's first playoff berth in 2000.

It was weird seeing Davis in another uniform after he had been a fixture of the Indiana Pacers for so long. But once in Toronto, Davis continued his bruising play, and he became the enforcer for the Raptors' initial success from 1999 to 2002.

Camby was the second overall selection of the Raptors in the 1996 NBA Draft, and although the team was not successful in his stint in Toronto, Camby had solid all-around stats. He was selected to the 1997 All-Rookie First Team and was a dominant force in the paint until traded in 1998 to the New York Knicks.

Bargnani was a scoring machine with the Raptors, becoming the team's leading scorer when Chris Bosh fled to Miami. But towards the end of his stint in Toronto, Bargnani was beset by injuries, and many Raptor fans still wonder how high he could have taken the team if he had just stayed healthy.

Bosh became the face of the franchise once Vince Carter left, and he led the Raptors back to playoff glory. But unfortunately for Raptors fans, the sunny oasis known as Miami was just too much of an allure for Bosh, and as soon as he became a free agent, he fled Toronto.
