Raptors take Miami centre Dewan Hernandez with 59th pick
The Toronto Raptors selected centre Dewan Hernandez from the University of Miami with the 59th pick in Thursday’s NBA draft.
The 6-foot-11 Hernandez sat out this season because of his dealings with an agent. Facing additional punishment next season, the junior from Miami turned pro instead.
The NCAA said Hernandez agreed to receive monthly payments from the agent and accepted other benefits. Hernandez sat out the first 19 games of the season while awaiting the Jan. 28 ruling.
