The Toronto Raptors have several different options for NBA Draft Night
Last week, I looked at the stars the Raptors might be looking to trade for and why that might not be the best way to go. Today, I’m going to look at the options the Toronto Raptors have if they don’t trade for a star.
One of the things I hear a lot about this NBA Draft is that there’s a drop-off of talent after 8, which is why there are some expectations that the Raptors will trade their 9th pick if Khaman Maluach isn’t available at the ninth spot. The prevailing belief is that this would involve either trading it for a veteran player or trading down. The possibility of them being able to trade up is unlikely.
