Kawhi Leonard was a question mark coming into this season, after being traded by San Antonio Spurs. He slowly got back into gear and re-established himself as a top 5 player in the league.

With playoffs here and the Raptors having a terrible history in them, Kawhi has single handedly decided to change it for the Raptors, and has been a monster.
