Mob Deep: How will the best bench in the NBA evolve for 2018-19?

Of all the unexpected successes the Toronto Raptors experienced last season, none were more fun to watch than that of the team’s second unit. With a net rating of 8.3 (1st in the league among benches), a true shooting percentage of 56.4% (4th), 3.9 steals per game (1st) and 8.9 points off of turnovers per game (1st), the Raptors bench—led by the platooning “Bench Mob” of Fred VanVleet, Delon Wright, Jakob Poeltl, Pascal Siakam and Bench Dad C.J. Miles—stormed through the regular season, transforming games with their energy on defense and efficient scoring on offense.
