Raptors GM Bobby Webster offered his thoughts on the process of evaluating players this off-season given the fact that they don’t have a single pick in the 2018 draft, taking place tomorrow evening. While the team has brought in a number of prospects, they’ve foregone higher profile names because of their precarious position.
However, with the new rumour that the Raptors are targeting Kentucky point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the draft via a trade, the idea that the Raptors aren’t working out high level players seems like a smokescreen.
Webster concludes a question about the lack of high-profile workouts by saying, “obviously not having them in here [for personal workouts] and kind of having more of a personal touch puts a little bit of a question mark [on their evaluations], but I think we’re really comfortable with our process in the early [college] season.
