The Toronto Raptors have proven to be both a masterful team when it comes to developing players and a place where Canadian studs, like Chris Boucher, can return home and put up points in their native country. Those two strengths could lead to the Raptors adding another Canadian stud, like Bennedict Mathurin, in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Mathurin, who is of Haitian descent, grew up in Montreal, and he attracted Arizona’s attention after impressing at the NBA Latin America Academy in Mexico City.
