He was a legit number 1 - outside of Lebron nobody else really leads mediocre teams deep every year - but he did lead mediocre teams into the playoffs for 8 straight years and got to the conference finals once (losing to the stacked Warriors the year the Raptors won).

But he's 33 now and I think counting on him to be that guy now would probably be asking a lot. I do think if you have Barnes, Siakam, and Dame though that could get you deep in a somewhat weak Eastern conference.
