The popular opinion on the 2021 NBA Draft is that the top four prospects are the top tier of this class. Most mock drafts have the Toronto Raptors selecting one of Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs, or Evan Mobley at the number four spot — based on whoever is available when it’s their turn to pick. There’s apparently a slight dip in talent after that, with Jonathan Kuminga and Scottie Barnes as the next tier.
But what if the Raptors have a different opinion? After all, Toronto has a bit of a track record of going against convention (or mock draft predictions) and doing their own thing.
