Raptors winners and losers after interesting 2023 NBA Draft night

Masai Ujiri and the Toronto Raptors made one of the more interesting first-round picks in the 2023 NBA Draft, using the No. 13 selection on Kansas wing Gradey Dick. All the rumors that linked Toronto to Dick at No. 13 have been proven true after a very slight slide.

Not only did the Raptors manage to fill a position of enormous need, but they did so while getting tremendous value and also eschewing the temptation to draft another raw 6-8 forward. For a freshman, Dick is a very polished offensive player who will be a threat on that end very early into his pro career.
