A few weeks ago I started to write an article on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Canadian point guard prospect who was deciding if he was going to turn pro or not. It was a safe bet he was, and it was also a seeming lock that he wouldn’t be coming to Toronto since the Raptors didn’t have a first round pick in the draft.
My take was basically that if the Raps could draft someone like SGA it could change the face of Canadian pro-basketball forever. You know, nothing major. But, it was never going to happen.
