Toronto added future Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon during the summer, but the newest Raptor with the largest cheering section at AmericanAirlines Arena tonight will be former Florida International University point guard Carlos Arroyo.

Arroyo, an undrafted rookie, joins Philadelphia's Raja Bell as the only Golden Panthers to make the NBA.

``I feel I've worked so hard since I was 5 years old to get to this point,'' Arroyo said. ``This is a dream come true.''

Arroyo, 22, impressed coaches and teammates with his work ethic, unselfish play and energy. ``He's a legitimate point guard -- he understands the position well,'' Raptors coach Lenny Wilkens said.

Arroyo, 6-2, was in a hotel room with twin brother Alberto last week when he was told he made the team.
