The 1998–99 NBA season was the Raptors' fourth season in the National Basketball Association.[1] In the 1998 NBA draft, the Raptors selected Antawn Jamison from the University of North Carolina with the fourth overall pick, but soon traded him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for his college teammate Vince Carter,[2][3][4] who is also second-year star Tracy McGrady's cousin.[5] During the off-season, the team acquired Charles Oakley from the New York Knicks,[6][7] acquired Kevin Willis from the Houston Rockets,[8][9] and signed free agent Michael Stewart.[10]
During the regular season, which was shortened to 50 games due to a lockout,[11][12][13] the Raptors moved into their new arena Air Canada Centre.[14][15] With the addition of Carter, the Raptors posted a 4–8 record in February. After a 6–12 start, the Raptors played their best basketball winning 12 of their next 14 games, while posting their first monthly winning record at 11–6 in March. However, they lost 13 of their final 18 games and finished the season with a 23–27 record, sixth in the Central Division.[16]
Carter averaged 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, and was named Rookie of the Year,[17][18] and selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. In addition, Doug Christie averaged 15.2 points and 2.3 steals per game, while Willis provided the team with 12.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and sixth man Dee Brown contributed 11.2 points per game off the bench, and led the league with 135 three-point field goals. McGrady averaged 9.3 points and 5.7 rebounds per game also off the bench, while Oakley averaged 7.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, John Wallace contributed 8.6 points per game off the bench, and second-year guard Alvin Williams contributed 5.0 points and 2.6 assists per game.[19]
Following the season, Wallace re-signed as a free agent with the New York Knicks,[20][21] and Reggie Slater was released to free agency.
