The Toronto Raptors may be making a franchise-altering decision next Thursday at the NBA Draft. With Fred VanVleet already opting out of his contract and preparing for a rich payday in free agency, Gary Trent Jr. may do the same thing. In some quarters, it’s believed Toronto will lose both guards creating a huge hole in the team’s backcourt.
But, armed with pick 13 at the 2023 NBA Draft there are several guards that could fill any hole potentially created at the guard spot. If two of the three free agents, particularly the guards, leave, Baylor’s Keyonte George or Indiana’s Jalen Hood-Schifino could be solid replacements for the Raptors at the Draft.
