Predicting Toronto Raptors' Pick In 2015 NBA Draft

The Toronto Raptors finished the 2014-15 regular season with a 49-33 record and finished fourth in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, they ended up getting swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Washington Wizards. They have quite a bit of work to do, and only hold the No. 20 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Who will they take with that selection?

Toronto could lose both Tyler Hansbrough and Amir Johnson in free agency during the upcoming offseason, and could use a young player to come in and be a big part of their future. Louisville power forward Montrezl Harrell would be an ideal fit, and ended up averaging 15.7 PPG and 9.2 RPG last year. If the Raptors take him, he would fit in and be a big part of their rotation immediately in the 2015-16 season.

Watch Bulls Get Whistled For 5-Second Call Because Of Drake

The Toronto Raptors were down by three points with 25 seconds remaining and the Chicago Bulls were taking the ball out of bounds. It happened to be right in front of Drake who is the Raptors' biggest fan. Drake proceeded to talk trash into Justin Holiday's ear while he tried to get the ball in-bounds, and it distracted Holiday enough to get a crucial five-second call against the Bulls. This is my favorite Drake moment of all time.

LeBron James Tosses Up Air Ball With Game On The Line

LeBron James is oftentimes criticized for not being anywhere near as clutch as some of the NBA's all-time great players. He certainly didn't do anything to dispel that notion against the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, as he threw up an incredibly feeble air ball with time running out. James also inexplicably left two seconds on the clock which he could have used to get a better look at the basket. It was simply a massive fail.

Kyle Lowry Nails Game-Winning Jumper On Cavaliers

Kyle Lowry has been a beast all season for the Toronto Raptors. He's one of the most underrated in the players in the NBA due to playing north of the border, but Lowry proved his worth with everyone watching on Friday night. He dropped 43 points and nine assists on the Cleveland Cavaliers, and also nailed this game-winning jumper. With about two seconds remaining on Cleveland's final possession, LeBron James tossed up an air ball, and the Raptors cemented a 99-97 win to draw within two games of the Cavaliers at 39-18.
