The Toronto Raptors not only have one of the best player development systems in the NBA, but they have shown a willingness to take on players that failed in their first location and developed a degree of radioactivity in the NBA. DeAndre’ Bembry looked like just another failed first-round pick, but the Raptors are molding him into a solid player.
Bembry, who developed into a star at Saint Joseph’s, was drafted in the first round by the Atlanta Hawks in 2016, but he never averaged more than 8.
