Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri held his pre-draft press conference on Tuesday, and although he didn’t reveal much, here are four takeaways from his presser.

Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri held his annual pre-draft press conference on Tuesday and, as expected, he didn’t reveal much about the team’s upcoming plans. Ujiri has always kept his cards close to the vest, so this is nothing new.

Here are four takeaways I had from Ujiri’s press conference.
