By all accounts, the Toronto Raptors are overperforming expectations this season. Coming into the year, Vegas predicted Toronto to win 55.5 games. Currently, they’re on pace to win 66. Toronto was expected to be ONE of the best teams in the NBA. So far, they’re THE best team in the NBA.
Much of Toronto’s success can be attributed to players outperforming expectations. Several players (who will name later on this list) are producing far more than what was expected of them.
And yet, it’s far from perfect in the 6ix. Despite the Raptors impressive start, a couple of key contributors have not played up to their abilities so far this season.
