For those wondering who the Raptors chose at 13, it was Ed Davis.
Prolly would have been better off in the long run with Bledsoe but I digress.
Title is kinda misleading, it’s not like the Raptors missed out on PG. Unless there was a trade in place to move up so they can pick him before the Pacers, there’s not a whole lot the Raps could’ve done to get PG
PG got drafted 10th btw lol
I remember watching Paul George tape pre draft and being in awe. I’m sure the front office was the same. He only dropped to 10 because he played at a relatively small school, but his tools were mouth watering.
We took Easy E who was a projected top 5 pick before the season. No one thought it was a bad pick, but I remember a lot of fans just wishing we got PG.
Pacers stealing Raptors draft picks again.
If pg played for the raptors and had the same type of career where would he rank with other raptors greats
