No one could have been 100 per cent sure what Kawhi Leonard was going to give the Raptors when he arrived in Toronto as little more than a mystery.
He had played only nine games in his last NBA season thanks to a leg injury, and things did not end well for him with the San Antonio Spurs.

And who knew about his health, let alone his mental buy-in for his new team.
