The Toronto Raptors’ busy 2021 NBA Draft night was far from over after the selections of Scottie Barnes, Dalano Banton, and David Johnson. In fact, the Raptors managed to pick up one of the better undrafted players in the entire draft in Pitt forward Justin Champagnie.

The twin brother of St. John’s star Julian Champagnie, Justin was one of the more surprising undrafted free agents that managed to slip past pick No. 60 last night, as his numbers under Jeff Capel with the Panthers last year were some of the best in the ACC.
