Through two games, who has been the Raptors best player?

Demar: I know you’re thinking DeRozan, but the right answer is actually Serge Ibaka. He was averaging a double double,17.5 points 10 boards and 1.5 blocks before the catastrophe that was Game 3. Now he’s slid down to 13.7 points, and 7 rebounds but a slight bump in blocks at 2 per game. DId i mention he’s shooting 38.5% from deep? He’s the only person I really trust shooting the ball right now.

Think about that for a second. In a team with Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and Norman Powell, the only person I trust shooting the rock is the dude we just added to the team two months ago.

Chris: Ibaka has been fantastic. He had six assists in the fourth quarter of Game 2 and he hit a couple of big shots to go along with a pair of monster blocks on the defensive end.

The Raptors as a whole have been inconsistent through three games, which isn’t surprising, but Ibaka has been excellent.
