Terence Davis, whose unique path from going undrafted this past June to now being a mainstay on the Toronto Raptors was no fluke. It was his collegiate exploits, specifically a March 2017 NIT victory against Syracuse basketball that put him on Masai Ujiris’ radar.
When assessing today’s flock of NBA talent, it’s rare to see a top-tier team contend when most of its roster was originally full of afterthoughts. The Toronto Raptors are one of those rarities.
Whether it be 2016’s 27th overall pick in Pascal Siakam (New Mexico State), undrafted guard Fred VanVleet (Wichita State), 2017’s 23rd overall pick in OG Anunoby (Indiana), or most recently Terence Davis (Ole Miss), who went undrafted this past June, The Raptors organization has proved that this kind of development was no accident.
