Bosh has only played against O'Neal during informal scrimmages this week, but that will change when training camp begins in Ottawa on Tuesday.

"I'm excited to learn about him, I'm excited to see his mannerisms, his characteristics, where he likes the ball, what moves he likes to do," said Bosh.

"Once you get a knack for it, it will be effortless."

While he has yet to see his two big men playing together, Toronto coach Sam Mitchell has made up his mind about how his offense will work.

"The thing I'm telling our guys is, your first look is going to be inside, your second look is going to be inside and, if they throw it back out, your third look is going to be inside," Mitchell said.

"Then, if they throw it out, then you shoot the basketball."

Also Monday, the Raptors announced that rookie F Nathan Jawai will be held out of practice because of concerns uncovered during a routine cardiac screening. The first indigenous player from Australia to be drafted by an NBA team, Jawai was the 41st overall pick in the June, 2008 draft.
