Toronto Raptors Receive: F De’Andre Hunter, F/C Onyeka Onkongwu 

Atlanta Hawks Receive: F OG Anunoby

Of course, drafting successfully is no easy job. That’s why teams pay scouts – and sometimes, they still get it wrong. 

Every year, big board after big board is published. Moreover, the draft cycle runs all year – right now, you can find rankings for the 2023 draft if you’d like to.

Meanwhile, the 2022 class hasn’t seen a minute of NBA action yet. 

Still, there will be missteps. Players will be taken in the top 5 who shouldn’t have been in the top 20. Someone will fall to the second round who should have been taken in the first. As it turns out, drafting is more art than science.

With that in mind: how do the Toronto Raptors do it? Is it their scouting department, or their developmental staff? Which came first, the chicken, or the egg? 

In either event, this organization is doing something right. Could they work their magic on Hunter and Onkongwu?
