The Toronto Raptors vaulted right into the No. 4 spot in the 2021 NBA Draft order, giving them a chance to potentially draft a new franchise point guard like Jalen Suggs. This would be the second consecutive year that they go in that direction, as they added Malachi Flynn with the 29th pick in last year’s draft.

While his early-season play was downright putrid, Flynn turned on the jets in the second half of the season, winning Rookie of the Month and showing that he can be a part of the Raptors’ future after improving on the offensive end.
