Toronto has bought into Rajakovic’s high-tempo offense predicated on getting out in transition and moving the basketball, and the early returns are promising. Toronto enters this game ranked 13th in offensive rating, third in assist rate, and sixth in pace.

While the Suns roster certainly looked promising on paper, injuries forced Beal to miss 35% or 29 of Phoenix’s games. Yet, the Suns still managed to win 49 games and finish sixth in the conference. However, the team had some glaring concerns, as it was a bit top-heavy and lacked depth on the bench.
