Two seasons ago, the Toronto Raptors were viewed as a fairly young team with a few veteran-like players placed around the roster. Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, and Serge Ibaka were just a few of the more experienced players on the roster, but a large portion of the team was still under 25 years old or around that mark. It was also the first year of OG Anunoby’s NBA career, a young rookie looking to make a mark in the league.
Fast forward a year and a half, and the Raptors team was markedly different to the one that finished the season before with a crushing sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
