Raptors were the 1st seed in east and 2nd overall with a point differential of +7.8 in 2018. Their top guys in terms of minutes were DD, Lowry, Ibaka, Jonas, Siakam, Poltl, Vanvleet, and Anunoby.
Now they are the 2nd seed in the east and 3rd overall with a point differential of +6.7 in 2020. The top guys are Vanvleet, Anunoby, Lowry, Siakam, Ibaka, Powell, Gasol, and Davis.
The only aspect of this Raptors team that is really a surprise is how good Davis has been right out of the gate. He's shooting 43% from 3 and scoring 17 per 36, and he can rebound, and play some D.
