Detroit Pistons: NBA Mock Draft 5.0 pick No. 4

player. 81. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Guard. G-League / Toronto Raptors. Jalen Green. 4

The Toronto Raptors got some lottery luck and moved into the 4th spot, so they will also get a chance at one of the top talents.

They would be pretty happy if this happened, as many think Green could end up being the best scorer in this draft.

If the Raptors are able to land one of the top guards, they could move on from veteran Kyle Lowry and start over with a very good young core of Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, Green and OG Anunoby, which would allow them to rebuild on the fly, add some more veteran talent, and get right back into the playoffs after missing them this season.

A lot of this would depend on how Siakam’s injury goes, but the Raptors won’t be down long.
