He understands how to get things done and how to build consensus.“And importantly, in this role John sits as a member of our team leadership committee. He is part of the key decisions that are being made every day and will address those decisions from a viewpoint of not just how they affect our team, but how they will affect our organization and our community.”Courtney M. Charles, who has worked in various roles for the Raptors since 2006 and most recently served as director of basketball operations and player development, will replace Wiggins as the new president of basketball operations for Raptors 905.More from SportsnetWhen submitting content, please abide by our , and avoid posting profanity, personal attacks or harassment.
