Raptors may select the best available player in the Draft

The Raptors have holes on the wing and at point guard, but may opt to draft the best available player, regardless of position. “If there’s a really good player up top that is not a perfect need for us, we would take that player, especially if we felt like he had all-star potential,” Raptors vice-president of basketball operations Ed Stefanski said. Toronto, which owns the eighth pick, took a look at point guards Damien Lillard and Kendall Marshall on Tuesday. “I’d have to say [power forward], where we’re the strongest, has the most depth,” Stefanski said when asked to assess the draft talent pool.
