The Raptors entered this draft with a first-round pick and a second-round pick. They originally had good odds to keep a lottery draft pick as well, but they would ultimately lose that pick to the
San Antonio Spurs with that pick falling to #8, which was outside of their protection range. With the Raptors having a late first round pick of their own via trading with the
Indiana Pacers and an early second round pick that they acquired through trades with a pick that originally belonged to the
Detroit Pistons, they looked to utilize the new draft structure of working on both rounds on two separate days for the first time in franchise and League history instead of just one day like they had done since the
NBA draft was implemented in two rounds properly back in
1989. Hours before the second round ensued, the Raptors commenced a trade with the
Sacramento Kings which included the #45 pick in the draft. Later during the draft they also traded in cash rather than assets with the
Minnesota Timberwolves to acquire the #57 pick in the draft. ==Roster==
