In what has been described as a move to help increase the clubs overall toughness Hansbrough is a welcome addition to a Raptors team that had a reputation this past season as a group that could be pushed around physically.  Combined with the trade of Andrea Bargnani the signing of  Hansbrough and a few other comparatively minor moves the Raptors are set to be a much different team on the court this season, and a club looking for drastically different results than last seasons 34-48 record.
