The Toronto Raptors were not supposed to be this good. After losing Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green in the offseason, the defending champs lost both Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka to injury early on. Still, Toronto has continued piling up wins despite the loss of two key members of the team’s regular rotation.
Without Ibaka, many felt Marc Gasol would take on an increased role, but Toronto’s starting center is averaging just 6.2 points per game in 2019-20. For his career, Gasol has averaged more than 14 points a night, but as a Toronto Raptor, the Spaniard is scoring just over eight points per contest.
