The Raptors are beginning to realize their defensive potential

Kawhi Leonard brought a lot to the Toronto Raptors last season – from international media headlines which The North hadn’t experienced since the Vinsanity era to all of the accolades and memories that brought us up out of our seat, to of course; the Larry O’Brien Trophy. There was the shot, there was the laugh, there were the All-NBA Second-Team and the All-Defensive Second-Team selections, and of course, there were the 30.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists through 24 playoff games, which led some to believe that Kawhi Leonard was the end-all and be-all of the Toronto Raptors franchise.
