How the mock draft went down before the Raptors’ turn
Tentatively, when I went through this exercise, my shortlist at the 19th pick included:
- Isaiah Collier
- Kel’el Ware
- Bub Carrington
- DaRon Holmes II
This shortlist assumes that Devin Carter nor Tristan Da Silva will be gone before the 19th.
