The Raptors were an elite team before Kawhi Leonard arrived and have remained one in his absence. (michaelgrange)

What they’ve done isn’t on the scale of what Leonard did for the Raptors in his one magnificent, storybook season in Toronto, maybe, but it’s not insignificant, either.On Wednesday night, when Leonard makes is first visit to Scotiabank Arena since leading the Raptors to the NBA championship, the reunion with Raptors fans and teammates alike will be that much more enjoyable because his former teammates have proven that they were pretty damn good, too.

Leonard may have opted to return home when he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers and worked to pry Paul George out of Oklahoma City to join him, but what’s left behind in Toronto is hardly some kind of cratered wreck.Stream the Raptors with Sportsnet NOW Stream 200+ marquee NBA matchups from around the league, including over 40 Raptors games.
