It’s draft day!
For way too many years of our beloved Raptors’ existence this has been the most exciting, and relevant, day of the season.
Conventional wisdom would hold then that the Raptors have been pretty bad at this drafting thing. After all, Toronto has made it to the postseason just ten times in their 23 years of existence, which strongly suggests that they haven’t been very good at acquiring players of value.
Names like Andrea Bargnani, Rafael Araujo, Aleksander Radojevic and even, sigh, my adopted Brazilian son, Bruno Caboclo, seem to confirm that the Raptors, indeed, struggle with not accidentally saying the names of basketball players who will suck.
