The Toronto Raptors already have a set starting lineup, barring any major trades this offseason. Adding another rotation player at No. 19, who can shoot threes at a high level, should be the goal. On the season, only four teams shot fewer three-pointers than the Raptors. If this team wants to get out of the middle of the pack offensively they'll need to dial up this number.
What are the Raptors' biggest needs?
The Toronto Raptors have the makings of a potentially devastating defense with Scottie Barnes, Collin Murray-Boyles and several other plus defenders, but they were in the bottom 10 of both threes per game and three-point percentage last season.
Can a trade help the Raptors?
Part of Toronto hitting its ceiling could mean more minutes at the 5 for Murray-Boyles. He's significantly smaller than Jakob Poeltl, but he's far more mobile and versatile. Moving the bigger, older center would be a sure way to open up the minutes CMB needs.
What's the current situation?
Last result: Cleveland Cavaliers 114-102 Toronto Raptors (2026-05-03). Recent form: | Date | Result | | --- | --- | | 2026-05-03 | Lost to Cleveland Cavaliers 114-102 |
The Raptors aren't likely to find another star with the 19th pick in this draft, but every year features a surprise at or near that level. With a class as deep as this one, there's at least a chance Toronto finds a keeper outside the lottery.
