“As an organization that’s working toward our next title, we believe that Otto — who understands what it takes to be an NBA Champion — is a great addition to the Raptors. He has proven himself at the highest levels in our game,” Toronto general manager Bobby Webster said. “He’s a versatile defender and high-level shooter who fits well with our team both on and off the court.”
