Why The Toronto Raptors Do The Deal
The Raptors will have some soul-searching to do this summer. Much of it will be in relation to Anunoby.
Do they think he’s got any extra layers in his game? Can Anunoby be a playmaker, or is this his final form? These are the questions the Raptors need to be wrestling with.
If they don’t think Anunoby can grow, it may be time for them to move on. After all, the Raptors just clued up a disappointing season. Nobody could blame them for turning their attention to the future.
Landing the seventh overall pick in the draft helps them do so. The Raptors will have a range of interesting choices here.

If they can use this pick to land one of Jarace Walker, Ausar Thompson or Anthony Black, they may not miss Anunoby for long.
Either way, they’re landing a lottery pick – and that’s valuable.
