Raptors have no picks in NBA draft – how big a problem is that?
The Raptors will have to improve without the help of an eager rookie or two from the draft. Our team has no picks. Is this a disaster?
The Toronto Raptors are without a pick in the June 21 NBA draft. This is the second time in franchise history our team is bereft; the first occurring in 2013.
Draft picks are hugely important to an NBA team’s success. Where would the Cleveland Cavaliers be had they not gotten the luck of the ping-pong balls in 2003 and selected LeBron James? That was a tremendously top-heavy draft. Skipping over the infamous Darko Milicic at #2, we find Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, in that order.
