Toronto Raptors praised for drafting Miami basketball alum Dewan Hernandez

Dewan Hernandez had an indirect route to getting drafted by Toronto Raptors. Hernandez sat out the entire 2018-19 Miami basketball season for his alleged involvement in the Adidas bribery scandal. Working his way up to a second round pick speaks highly of Hernandez’s work ethic.

The 6’11 center/forward began his ascension this spring at the NBA G-League combine. Hernandez was one of the best players in Chicago at the G-League combine. That earned him a spot in the NBA Combine. His performance continued to impress enough for the Raptors to select him with the 59th pick in the NBA Draft.
