Raptors selected Allen Graves with the No. 19 pick in the NBA Draft.
After one season at Santa Clara, Graves both entered his name into the NBA Draft pool and the transfer portal. However, as the draft process wore on, it was clear that the versatile 6-foot-8 forward would be a first-round pick. A first-team All-WCC selection, Graves averaged 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers. He was productive enough to win WCC Sixth Man of the Year honors, and the ability to fill multiple roles on both ends of the floor is what makes Graves such an intriguing prospect. He’s an analytical darling, but he’ll be an interesting fit alongside Scottie Barnes and Collin Murray-Boyles. It will be tough for him to carve out a role with the other two in the mix.
