Toronto Raptors

Jakob Poeltl, C (9), Pascal Siakam, PF (27)

The Raptors did exactly what they needed to do.  They nabbed the safest big man in the draft with Jakob Poeltl, and I think Pascal Siakam was one of the more underrated players going into the draft.

With DeRozan focusing on re-signing with his Raptors, and Biyombo likely headed elsewhere, Toronto met the team’s needs well, and will remain a top team in the east.

Draft Grade: A-

Next: Utah Jazz
