Raptors' Bosh Becoming Elite Center

Toronto, Canada (AHN) - Chris Bosh may be turning from very good to superstar this season. The Toronto Raptors center is averaging nearly 27 points with 11 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game for the 4-2 squad.

While Bosh is no longer a secret in the league for averaging over 22 points per game the last three seasons, he is still improving as a player and leader.

Bosh poured in 30 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out three assists and recorded a pair of blocks in the Raptors 89-79 win over the Charlotte Bobcats Sunday.

If the Raptors are concerned about giving their fifth-year player too many minutes, they certainly aren't saying.

Bosh, a product of Georgia Tech, is on the floor nearly 42 minutes per contest and outscored Charlotte himself, 14-12 Sunday.

It is difficult to argue with the results, as the center is improving in nearly every facet of his game, averaging two more rebounds than his career total and nearly seven more points per contest.
