Raptors' players, management offer up insight on NBA Draft process

When the Toronto Raptors make their selection in this June's NBA Draft, they'll have a shot at picking a franchise-altering player. The Raptors have just three players on their current roster that they'd initially acquired via the draft since 2016: Jakob Poeltl, Scottie Barnes, and Gradey Dick. Through a series of trades, health issues, and players who simply didn't work out, eight of Toronto's last 11 draft picks have had an expiration date with the franchise. In Poeltl's case, he was traded away from Toronto in 2018 and then brought back for a package that could have serious implications for this year's draft.
