The Toronto Raptors are getting ready for the 2024 NBA Draft.
It’s two weeks away and Toronto will have picks No. 19 and No. 31.
Many names have been linked to the Raptors over the past few weeks.
One of those names is Canadian Zach Edey.
Bryan Kalbrosky of USA Today put out his latest mock draft and he has the Raptors taking Edey at No. 19:
“The Ringer’s O’Connor reported that there “a lot of rumblings” about Purdue’s Zach Edey as a potential fit with the Raptors. Edey was a two-time national college player of the year for a reason, proving himself absolutely indispensable and remarkably efficient on both ends of the floor. He averaged 0.53 points per touch, via Stats Perform, which is the most of any player included on the latest consensus big board. Especially playing in shorter bursts rather than long minutes, Edey can have a lot of success in the NBA.”
Edey recently had a workout with the Raptors at the OVO Athletic Center. He is one of the most intriguing prospects at this year’s draft and he could help a Raptors team that is in need of frontcourt depth.
Edey has been rising up mock drafts and there is a good chance that he is no longer on the board by the time the Raptors make their first-round selection.
Toronto is reportedly trying to move in the draft according to Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer so they could have Edey as their main target.
Nonetheless, if Edey is still available by the time the Raptors pick at No. 19 there seems to be a good chance Toronto will take him.
