There are a lot of questions surrounding this team, and we’ll attempt to answer some of the most pressing ones.

1. How will the Raptors fare without Kawhi Leonard?

This is the biggest question surrounding the Raptors entering the season. Leonard was one of the best players in the league during his time in Toronto, and he helped lead the Raptors to their first ever NBA Championship.

Now that he’s gone, it’s fair to wonder how the Raptors will fare without him. They’ll still have a very good team, but it’s impossible to replace a player of Leonard’s caliber.

2. Who will be the Raptors’ go-to player?

With Leonard gone, the Raptors will need someone to step up and be their go-to player. Pascal Siakam is the most likely candidate, but he’ll have some big shoes to fill.

3. How will OG Anunoby fare as a starter?

Anunoby was excellent as a reserve last season, but he’ll be thrust into a starting role this season. It will be interesting to see how he responds to the increased responsibility.

4. Can the Raptors’ young players take a step forward?

The Raptors have a lot of young talent, and they’ll need some of them to take a big step forward if they want to compete for a playoff spot. Players like Siakam, Anunoby, and Fred VanVleet will need to lead the way.

5. What are the Raptors’ expectations for the season?

The Raptors have lowered their expectations for the season, but they still believe they can compete for a playoff spot. They’ll need to prove a lot of people wrong if they want to make it back to the postseason.
