A local from the stage towards the Raptors? According to Raptors Republic, Zach Edey is one of six prospects who will participate in a training session with the Toronto franchise this Tuesday.
The best player of the last two NCAA seasons, born in the Canadian megalopolis, is, despite questions concerning his profile, listed according to the different “Mock Draft” between 14th and 22nd place.
The Raptors have the 19th pick, as well as the 31st pick, in the second round. This interest in the best scorer in the university championship may raise questions to the extent that the Canadians already rely on two experienced pivots under contract, Jakob Poeltl and Kelly Olynyk, even if the latter has a different profile.
This session with the Raptors is the first known visit of Zach Edey, accompanied today by Keion Brooks Jr. (Washington), Joseph Girard III (Clemson), Jahmir Young (Maryland), Emanuel Miller (TCU) and Tyrese Samuel (Florida ). The last two players mentioned are also Canadian.
The giant, who has just completed his studies at Purdue, will also be tested by the Pelicans, and probably other teams before the big night of the Draft.
