Team Strengths - Two- Way Wing Depth & A Top 5 Talent

Despite all their regular season success, especially in the past three seasons, the Raptors have consistently failed to deliver when in the Playoffs. Multiple reasons have been cited as the issues and one of them stood out - having a top 5 two-way caliber player.

They were led by Lowry and DeRozan in previous years and it's not making headlines saying that Leonard is far far better than the 4-time All-Star shooting guard. In fact, a case can easily be made, that if healthy, Leonard is among the top 3 players in the league (along with Kevin Durant and LeBron).

His addition along with Danny Green allows the Raptors to boast off about a strong, reliable and deep wing strength in this current era of positionless basketball. Along with second-year player OG Anunoby, this wing trio could wreak havoc defensively and if used right, each of these three players can be very effective on offense as well. In addition to this trio, the Raptors also have CJ Miles and Normal Powell as very useful wing players that they can use.
