The Toronto Raptors experienced a half-decade of dominance unlike anything the franchise had experienced before, and a good chunk of the blame should be assigned to Masai Ujiri. Through some solid maneuvers in the NBA Draft, shrewd free agent signings, and bold trades, Ujiri built an NBA champion in Toronto.
Ujiri was also able to build the Raptors in quite an efficient fashion despite the fact he never bottomed out and went into the lottery multiple times to get high draft picks.
