The 1996-97 NBA season was the Raptors' second season in the National Basketball Association.[1] The Raptors drafted Marcus Camby out of Massachusetts with the second overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft, and started their season with new head coach Darrell Walker. Veteran leadership was added to the team with the acquisitions of Walt Williams, Popeye Jones, Hubert Davis and John Long. At midseason, the team re-signed free agent Oliver Miller after a brief stint with the Dallas Mavericks. The Raptors finished last place in the Central Division with a 30-52 record, which was a nine-game improvement over their inaugural season. Second-year star Damon Stoudamire led the team averaging 20.2 points and 8.8 assists per game. Camby averaged 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, while being selected to the All-Rookie First Team. Following the season, Davis signed with the Dallas Mavericks and Long retired.
