DeMarre Carroll has revealed that he is determined to make an immediate impact following his move to the Toronto Raptors.

The 29-year-old signed a lucrative four-year deal, worth up to $60m (£39m), with the Raptors during free agency after spending the past two seasons at the Atlanta Hawks.

Carroll has admitted that he is looking to bring his attacking prowess to the team and slowly bed into the system under Dwane Casey.

He is quoted as saying by CBS Sports: "I think, most importantly, is just play pick and roll. I think I understand that and it's what my next step is. I'll continue to keep shooting the three ball, continue to keep slashing, and continue to make my main focus playing defense.

"That's what they really brought me over here for. But I think playing pick and roll is the next step on my ladder and, once I learn how to play pick and roll and [how to make] proper reads off pick and roll, then I can start looking toward other things, like maybe playing one on one and posting up. But I think it's just taking it one step at a time.

"Each year I'm in Toronto, I'm trying to grow, and you don't want to try to take too many leaps and bounds at once, because you have to try to perfect one thing and keep getting better at one thing and I think that's what I try to do. That's why I had so many successful years in Atlanta."

Carroll averaged 12.6 points per game for the Hawks in the 2014-15 season.
