The Toronto Raptors own the seventh-best odds at landing the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, meaning they don’t exactly have the best shot at drafting Oklahoma State point guard Cade Cunningham as their centerpiece. They could end up with a new starting center, however, as an international prospect like Turkish big Alperen Sengun looks like an ideal fit.

Sengun has spent the last season with Turkish giants Besiktas, proving that he is one of the best players in the league despite the fact he is just 18 years old.
