The Toronto Raptors draft could go in several different directions early in the draft given the lack of consistency outside of the top five prospects, and they could be equally as surprising with two of their second-round picks. If a few lucky breaks go Toronto’s way, they could end up drafting former Duke stud Matthew Hurt.
Hurt was a former five-star recruit, but he chose to stay at Duke for his sophomore season after underwhelming a bit as a freshman. This turned out to be a great decision, as he proved what a deadly offensive player he can be.
