After an extremely tough year in Tampa, the Toronto Raptors draft plans didn’t look as promising as some would have hoped. With the seventh-best odds at the top pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Raptors appeared to be incapable of selecting a game-change like Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, or Jalen Suggs.
However, the cosmic forces from beyond smiled upon the Raptors, and they ended up landing the No. 4 pick in the draft, with the Detroit Pistons taking home the top selection and the Rockets and Cavaliers following them in the order.
