So I did some more research, and apparently this is not uncommon! Biz might have been significantly older too
So what is the deal here? How likely is it that Ibaka is older than he claims, and by how much? Does anyone know more about this whole age faking thing? I only ask because this compounds the worries I had when I remember hearing some commentators comment that he's out of his prime, etc., which sounds quite odd if he really is 27!?

It's not likely by any stretch, but to say it is unrealistic is stretching a bit.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

A couple of factors that help separate teams other than pure W/L is their road records and point differential. Strong teams win on the road and have a healthy point differential. Teams that have been overachieving by taking advantage of home cooking or squeaking out of an above average number of close games don't meet the criteria.
The Raptors still have a better road record than the Wiz and a better point differential than both BOS and WAS. FWIW ESPN's power index predictor still pegs Toronto to finish ahead of both teams based in large part on remaining SOS."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
