With six players set to hit free agency and a roster that was mercilessly exposed on the defensive end by the Washington Wizards in a four-game beat-down of a playoff series, the Toronto Raptors, armed with just one pick at No. 20, won’t be solving all their problems during Thursday’s NBA Draft. With that said, because of all the holes they’ll have to fill, Raptors GM Masai Ujiri is going to have to hit on this pick and bring in a guy who will make an immediate impact. Taking a quick peek at some of the outgoing players, it’s apparent that the team will need to narrow in on wings, extra ball-handlers and big men. Also, because of Ujiri’s commitment to the defensive-minded Dwane Casey, said pick will probably have to at least be capable of guarding his own position. Therefore, with these criteria in mind, here are some names near where the Raptors are selecting that are probably in play right now. - See more at:http://www.sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba/roster-rx-raptors-draft-targets/
