How the 2018-19 Raptors were built

Not one player on the Raptors roster was drafted in the lottery (a top 14 pick), suggesting scouts across the league didn’t think any current player would develop into a star after he left college.

In an era when the popular way of building teams is to tank for high draft picks, every other NBA playoff team has at least one No. 7 pick or higher.

Some argue that this version of the Raptors is the most talented club, on paper, in franchise history as Toronto prepares to host the Orlando Magic on Saturday in the opening game of the playoffs.
