29. Toronto Raptors – Zeke Nnaji, C, Arizona

With the chance that the Toronto Raptors could lose Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, or both during the 2020 offseason, it would be smart of this team to address the position during the 2020 NBA Draft. Zeke Nnaji is an interesting name that will likely have many teams at the end of the first round excited.

He fits the modern mold of today’s big man in the NBA with his athleticism and ability to stretch defenses to the 3-point line. He’s far from a finished product and needs some grooming to fully embrace his potential. But all the tools are there for Nnaji to be a good big.

Toronto has one of the best developmental systems in the NBA, as has been evidenced recently by Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam. Could Zeke Nnaji be the next project that the Raptors develop into a really good pro?
