Draft lottery luck would be a game changer for the Toronto Raptors, but there are no disaster outcomes

Episode 1892

The Toronto Raptors franchise could change forever on Monday night if the Draft Lottery Gods are kind enough to smile down upon them. In Episode 1861, Sean Woodley goes solo to outline what's at stake for the Raptors ahead of Monday night's chaos draw, what it would mean if they're lucky enough to jump into the top two of the draft order, why staying put at 7 or dropping to 8 or 9 would be disappointed but by no means a disaster, and whether any lottery night outcomes could lead Toronto to trade their first-rounder this summer. Off the top, Sean gets into why Cooper Flagg and to a slightly lesser extent Dylan Harper would instantly pop the ceiling off the Raptors' long-term building plan and why the Raptors are in a great place to incorporate a potential first-contract star. Next, Sean gets into what it would mean if Toronto stays at 7th, or drops a spot or two (as is most likely), and why it would still allow the Raptors to stay the course and push towards competitiveness next year and beyond. Lastly, Sean discusses the very narrow range of lotto night outcomes that could put the Raptors in position to make a major trade using this year's first round pick.
