The Toronto Raptors hold two second-round draft picks in 2021, in addition to the No. 4 overall pick. As has been the case under the watchful and guiding eye of Masai Ujiri, Raptors’ management has been doing its homework on the available talent, including players projected to go late in the lottery like Alperen Sengun.

But the projection of where talent may get selected is constantly changing. The latest expectation for July 29 is that Sengun, a 6-9 center/power-forward from Turkey, could come off the board at some point near the end of the lottery.
