The Best Toronto Raptors team ever based on Draft Picks

Toronto Raptors v Atlanta Hawks

Center:

Jonas Valanciunas was drafted, in 2011, by Bryan Colangelo. Valanciunas stayed one year, in Europe, before joining the Raptors. He is a physical 7 footer, who, is a good shooter and has developed a long-range shot. While considered a little slow, in today’s game, Valanciunas just keeps working hard. At the moment, he is, in a platoon situation, with Serge Ibaka. A look at the last few playoff runs, that the Raptors have participated in, will show Valanciunas was a consistent performer win or lose.

Valnciunas is third all-time as a Raptor in blocked shots. He is fifth, in games played, in a Raptors uniform and second in rebounds at 3,910. He is seventh, in scoring. Now, in his 7th season, Valanciunas is entering his prime. Unless Valanciunas is traded, expect him to climb higher in many of these categories. Valanciunas has played 43 playoff games for the Raptors averaging 12.7 points per game and 9.4 rebounds per game.
