I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest that, prior to June 23, 2022, most Toronto Raptors fans had never heard of Christian Koloko.
Sure, a few maybe read some mock drafts, a couple of which had Koloko as a high second rounder. But Koloko, who played three years at Arizona, was not highly touted nor any sort of household name.
All of which makes sense. After all, the Raptors were picking 33rd in the draft. Second-round picks are a crapshoot, a time to take a flyer on a great athlete or a one-dimensional shooter, or pick up a project player, and hope that you can hone and mold them into something more.
