NBA DRAFT: Three prospects the raptors are considering when they win their essential coin flip

Toronto’s draft fate hinges on a crucial coin flip, determining their position in the upcoming selection process. In the event of a favorable outcome, who should they target with their pick?

The Raptors solidified a new direction this past season, parting ways with franchise pillars Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby. These transactions resulted in a challenging 25-57 record, leaving them with just a 45.8% probability of retaining the top-six protected pick they traded to San Antonio for Jakob Poeltl.

Given this scenario, here are some potential options for the Raptors if they emerge victorious in the coin flip:

Rob Dillingham, from Kentucky, is a diminutive combo guard who impressed coming off the bench, averaging 15.2 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game in around 23 minutes per outing.

Dillingham possesses evident skill, utilizing his quickness, agility, and basketball instincts to score and create opportunities for his teammates.

In Toronto, Dillingham could alternate between primary and secondary ball-handler roles, showcasing his accurate shooting — 44% from beyond the arc on 4.5 attempts — or orchestrating the offense with the ball in his hands.

Ron Holland, hailing from Ignite, stands at 6 feet 8 inches and embodies a two-way force with exceptional athleticism, aligning well with the Raptors’ typical player profile.

While Holland’s shooting and turnover issues raise some concerns, they are areas that the Raptors have successfully addressed in the past.

Nikola Topic, a Serbian guard from Crvena zvezda, may have a slim chance of slipping past the top draft picks. However, if he does or if the Raptors strike gold on lottery night, he could be a valuable addition as a potential point guard for the future.

With a reported wingspan of 7 feet, Topic excels in attacking downhill, demonstrating creative finishing and perhaps the best passing and pick-and-roll playmaking abilities in his class.

Although there may be some overlap with Immanuel Quickley, if the Raptors are looking to invest in a long-term primary ball-handler, Topic would be an enticing choice.
