We’ve Never Seen This Before…

An ESPN analyst picking Toronto to make the Finals. NBA GMs ranking Scottie Barnes the second most versatile player in the league. Three Raptors in Bleacher Report’s top 16 defenders. Kevin Garnett, John Wall and Brian Windhorst all buying in. So is this more hype than the 2019 championship team? I went back to the fall of 2018 and pulled the receipts, and the answer surprised me.

Are expectations for the Raptors too high or too low? Let me know in the comments.
