Checking in on the Raptors

Things going well.
15 lineups used over 20 minutes, 11 positive, 10 of them without DeRozan. 6 of 9 lineups over 50 minutes with DeRozan were positive last season but how important is he? Just one career appearance above .100 ws/48 and bpm so far (last season but not this season) and never positive on rapm / rpm though ever inching closer to it.
Almost all the "big minute" lineups (over20!) are good but only 5 on pace for the paltry 200 minute level of season testing. Going to know what works / not overall and in certain situations based on that? Mostly not, I think. But gosh Casey and the Raptors analytics crew have 149 lineups used under 20 minutes that they can seek to understand or ignore.
