The RaptorsHQ’s Draft Watch is back, and we’re here to foolishly figure out who the Raptors’ front office will select 13th overall in the next few weeks. This task is a tall order, as President Masai Ujiri and GM Bobby Webster’s tandem is putting everyone on a wild goose chase as to who’s really in the running to replace Nick Nurse as the new Raptors head coach.
Toronto may have missed out on Victor Wembanyama, but there are plenty of potential options at the 13th spot. The way the season ended, perhaps the front office made the mistake of doubling down on salvaging the season and tanked hard for Victor, or at the very least, improved their drafting position.
