The pre-draft workouts are proceeding apace and the due diligence is never ending with calls to friends, associates, coaches and teammates.
It’s a true laundry list of those who can provide any kind of intelligence about the many possibilities the Raptors will have with the No. 33 pick in this year’s draft.
And then it can all be blown up 10 or 15 minutes before it comes time to actually make the selection.
Such is the lot in life for a franchise that will have to wait until the second round of the two-round draft to hopefully find a gem who can fit right in and eventually grow into a contributing member of the team’s regular playing rotation.
