How does one measure success in the NBA G League level? What does a G League championship mean, and is it the barometer of a team’s developmental strength? Those are some of the questions one should think before they look at the Raptors 905’s premature end to their playoff run.
Sure, the 905 fell short in the playoffs, but that’s where the disappointment stops. There are plenty of things that made this season a “developmental success,” and looking back at my season preview post, it’s definitely another year of that type of growth for the Raptors organization.
