The first round came and went without the selection of several expected first-round picks, like Johnny Furphy and Kyle Filipowski.
The Toronto Raptors, who hold the No. 31 pick, "have a high degree of leverage" with multiple trade-up targets still available, per The Athletic's Sam Vecenie. It's possible, Vecenie opined, that Toronto will wind up fielding "offers from a team that has a player still rated in the lottery on their board."
Regardless of what the Raptors do, the top of this round could fill up the transaction log, as Vecenie relayed that "several picks in the top 10 of the second round were thought to be available overnight."
