The Toronto Raptors selected Indiana sophomore forward OG Anunoby with the 23rd pick in the 2017 NBA draft this evening.
It was a longer wait than expected in the draft green room at the Barclays Center for Anunoby, who was projected to go as high as No. 13 in some mock drafts published early on Thursday.
Anunoby became the first Hoosier drafted since 2014, when freshman Noah Vonleh went No. 9 overall to the Charlotte Hornets.
His three-year rookie scale contract will be worth a total of $4.9 million. He’ll earn $1.37 million as a rookie.
