One stat that tracks players contributions is Wins Produced*. Here is the chart for the Raptors so far this season.

Two things stand out:
1. We have a true superstar, who is personally responsible for 3 of our 11 wins. Kyle Lowry ranks #5 in the NBA for total WP (biased up since, e.g., he plays lots of minutes).
2. In our top 10 players, 8 have each contributed at least 1 of our 11 wins (and Tyler is close at 0.6 wins, only Greivis is close to zero). For comparison, in other top teams, to get players who have contributed at least 1 win:
- Chicago - 5 deep
- Washington - 5 deep
- Cleveland - 6 deep (and a bunch of zeros after that)
- Memphis - 5 deep
- San Antonio - 6 deep
- Golden State - 5 deep (and 2 other strong)
Our depth is pretty remarkable!
*Roughly speaking, you add up all the little things that contribute to a win (rebounds, assists, steals, points) and subtract the things that work against you (missed shots, fouls, turnovers, etc).
