“There’s definitely interest in people trying to get our pick,” said Dan Tolzman, Assistant General Manager and VP, Player Personnel for the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
The pick he’s talking about is the Raptors’ No. 9 overall lottery pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft. A spot that the team fell to after being projected to draw the No. 7 pick at least in last month’s Draft Lottery. Still, if anyone knows how to pick a good player a little later in the draft, it’s this Toronto front office led by Masai Ujiri, General Manager Bobby Webster, and Tolzman.
