The Raptors have hit the jackpot in the NBA draft and also dropped the ball a few times. With the draft Thursday, here’s a look (in order of where they rank), at the best and worst Raptors picks:
The top five
VINCE CARTER
1998: fifth overall
Raptors career: 403 games played, 23.4 points per game, 15 playoff starts
NBA career: 1998-present, 1214 GP, 19.4 PPG with Raptors, Nets, Magic, Suns, Mavericks, Grizzlies
A pre-arranged trade (with Golden State Warriors for Antawn Jamison) makes him a de facto draft pick and the best ever.
