NBA Mock Draft 2015: Toronto Raptors Select Delon Wright
The 2015 NBA Draft has finally arrived! After selecting No. 20 last season, the Toronto Raptors once again find themselves at No. 20 this year.
Although the lottery will largely dictate who the Raptors will select, they have a number of options to choose from. Trying to figure out who that player will be, though, is the real challenge.
Even with draft day here, there is still minimal clarity as to who will be be selected where. We have a pretty good idea of who will go within the top-10, but in what order remains a mystery. Trying to solve that is mystery is where mock drafts provide insight. They offer a great look at various scenarios each team might encounter and who could possibly land where.
With that being said, here is a mock draft for the entire first round of the 2015 NBA Draft.
1. Minnesota Timberwolves
86. It’s between Towns or Okafor for the Timberwolves. Head coach Flip Saunders is a fan of Okafor, but the combination of length, skill and upside with Towns is too much for him to pass up on. Although Okafor is more polished around the basket, Towns athleticism will mesh well with <strong><a href=. Power Forward. Kentucky. Karl-Anthony Towns. 1. player
2. Los Angeles Lakers
20. With <strong><a href=. Center. Duke. Jahlil Okafor. 2. player
3. Philadelphia 76ers
93. Trying to figure out what the 76ers will do is always fun. GM Sam Hinkie is far from conventional and certainly isn’t afraid to take chances. But with the pressure to see progress in Philadelphia building, I think Hinkie will take Russell, who is a well-rounded point guard that can make an immediate impact.. Shooting Guard. Ohio State. D'Angelo Russell. 3. player
4. New York Knicks
27. All the talk around the Knicks is that they are trying to move down in the draft and how <strong><a href=. Small Forward. Duke. Justise Winslow. 4. player
5. Orlando Magic
5. player. 38. The Zinger has been one of the most talked about prospects in this draft. Is he the next Dirk? Or is he the next Darko? It’s tough to say at this point, but it sounds like people believe he will become something like <strong><a href=. Power Forward. Latvia. Kristaps Porzingis
