The Toronto Raptors continued to augment the in-house competition developing ahead of training camp by introducing another big Thursday. 

Stiemsma, 28, made 55 appearances for the New Orleans Pelicans last season, averaging 2.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in just over 18 minutes per contest. Should he break camp with the Raptors, the former Celtic and Timberwolve will don his fourth jersey in as many seasons. 

He will bang bodies at camp with third-year center Jonas Valanciunas, Tyler Hansbrough and Chuck Hayes.

ESPN's Marc Stein is reporting that Stiemsma's one-year deal is worth $1 million.
