Raptors will select 23rd in the 2017 NBA Draft

Setting aside the playoffs for one second, the NBA worked out its draft tie-breakers this afternoon and we know now the Raptors will draft from the 23rd spot. Sadly there’s no golden deal with the Knicks sitting there to secure Toronto a top 10 pick.

There were, however, some other deals from Masai Ujiri that got the Raptors into no. 23. This was the pick they technically got from Milwaukee (via the Clippers) for Norman Powell, which was then flipped to the Magic for Serge Ibaka. As was announced at the time, the pick was to be the lower (or worse) of the two picks the Raps would own in the 2017 Draft.
