When the Toronto Raptors picked Dewan Hernandez as the second to last pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, there were no expectations for him to be part of the team’s main rotation. He was supposed to go through a developmental year and spend most of his time with the Raptors 905 in the G League.
Hernandez’s highlights gave the fanbase some hope that the Raptors may have struck gold again after some polishing work was done. Watching him perform with the 905 and in whatever minutes he got from the main club confirmed the initial scouting report on Dewan.
