Is it too early to sweat the coming Raptors season? I submit: no, it is not. And according to ESPN and their resident math mad scientist Kevin Pelton, we have plenty to worry about already.
Early this morning (apologies for not catching it then, but this thing was originally posted at 7am and I was asleep and missed it), Pelton dropped a round of RPM-based win projections for the entire NBA. As per usual, there are ineffable caveats to consider in these sorts of things — how can one man predict the future, after all — but it still paints a picture, albeit for Toronto a despairing one.
