We’ve concentrated on the Toronto Raptors’ first round pick for the past couple of weeks, so today we’re dedicating the space this week to the team’s projected 58th pick in the second round. The last time the Raptors picked 58th, they landed Uros Slokar, the supposed Slovenian Toni Kukoc. Tough act to follow, but the Raptors should have plenty of good options at this range should they decide to use this pick.
Historically, the odds are against the 58th pick producing a rotation player. Abdel Nader might be the best prospect picked at this spot (by the Boston Celtics), and he’s barely carved out an NBA career so far.
