Fortunately for the Toronto Raptors and their fans, the roster’s biggest hole could be filled on June 23. That’s the night of the NBA draft, in which our team has the #9 selection.
Here at the Rapture, we’ve been concentrating on power forwards who might still be on the board. There’s little argument about the pressing need to find a starter-grade big man, particularly one who can rebound and defend. Certainly we’d be thrilled if our rookie could create and make his own shot in the paint.
The final attribute we’d like the newbie to possess is the ability to contribute in his first season.
