Top 5 all-time Toronto Raptors rebounding leaders

Chris Bosh sits atop the Toronto Raptors’ all-time rebounding list.

The Toronto Raptors have built a strong history since joining the NBA in 1995, winning seven division titles and capturing their first championship in 2019. As a relatively young franchise, many of the Raptors’ top rebounders are recent stars, but franchise icon Chris Bosh still holds the top spot on the all-time leaderboard. Here’s the rest of the list:

1.

Chris Bosh

— 4,776

Drafted fourth overall in the legendary 2003 NBA Draft, Chris Bosh played 13 seasons in the NBA, earning 11 All-Star selections, one All-NBA honor, and two championships with the Miami Heat. While many remember his time in Miami alongside LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Bosh’s prime came in Toronto, where he was the face of the franchise and its first option. In seven seasons with the Raptors, Bosh averaged 20.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, peaking at 10.8 rebounds in 2009-10. As a rookie, he set a franchise record with 557 rebounds and finished fifth in Kia Rookie of the Year voting. His most iconic rebound, however, came in Miami, when his offensive rebound in the final seconds of Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals set up Ray Allen’s legendary game-tying three-pointer and helped secure a second championship for the Heat’s Big Three.

2.

Jonas Valančiūnas

— 3,961

Jonas Valančiūnas is a giant among men. Standing 6-foot-11 and weighing 265 pounds, the Lithuanian center built his reputation as one of the league’s most dominant interior rebounders, averaging 9.0 rebounds per game over his career and 8.4 across seven seasons with the Raptors. Known for carving out deep position, overpowering opponents on the glass, and creating second-chance opportunities, Valančiūnas averaged over 3.0 offensive rebounds per game in multiple seasons. During his time in Toronto, he posted an impressive 19.2% rebounding percentage and averaged 12.1 rebounds per 36 minutes. He also elevated his rebounding in the postseason, averaging 9.4 boards across 43 playoff games with the Raptors.

3.

Pascal Siakam

— 3,324

The 27th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Pascal Siakam far exceeded expectations. Since entering the league, he has earned four All-Star selections, two All-NBA honors, and a championship with the Raptors in 2019. The 6-foot-8 forward won Most Improved Player in 2018-19, jumping from 7.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game to 16.9 points and 6.9 rebounds. Known for his versatility, length, and relentless motor, Siakam became a unique rebounding threat who could secure boards and immediately turn them into transition opportunities. He peaked as a rebounder in 2021-22, averaging 8.5 rebounds per game while leading the NBA in minutes. During Toronto’s 2019 title run, Siakam averaged 19.0 points and 7.1 rebounds over 24 playoff games.

4.

Kyle Lowry

— 2,954

Kyle Lowry is easily the most surprising entry on this list. Standing at just 6-foot, Lowry averaged 4.2 rebounds per game over his 20-year career, peaking at 4.9 rebounds per game during his time in Toronto. Despite his lack of size, Lowry was a master at using leverage, positioning, and his strong frame to box out bigger opponents. His elite instincts, relentless motor, and willingness to battle for every loose ball made him an underrated rebounder. That toughness was on full display in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals, when Lowry grabbed seven rebounds to help lead the Raptors to their first championship in franchise history. Often considered the greatest Raptor of all time, Lowry’s place on this list proves that heart can overcome height.

5.

Antonio Davis

— 2,839

Drafted by the Indiana Pacers in 1990, Antonio Davis didn’t make his NBA debut until 1993 after spending three seasons playing overseas. Once he arrived, he quickly established himself as a physical interior presence, standing out even in an era filled with bruising big men. Davis had his best rebounding season in 2001-02, averaging 10.1 rebounds, 13.7 points, and 1.4 blocks per game while earning his lone All-Star selection. He became a cornerstone of the early Raptors teams, averaging 10.6 rebounds per game in 20 playoff appearances alongside Vince Carter. Over his 13-year career, Davis averaged 7.5 rebounds per game.
