NBA Mock Draft 9.0: Houston Rockets take Evan Mobley; Ben Simmons is traded

4. Toronto Raptors – Jalen Suggs, G, Gonzaga

With the No. 4 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors will take Jalen Suggs. But, it doesn’t stop there for this team. Not only do they get a guard for the future but they also make a big trade that will send waves across the rest of the league.

In addition to landing Suggs, the Raptors also manage to acquire Ben Simmons from the Philadelphia 76ers. In exchange, the Raptors will send Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, and a future first-round pick.

The Raptors now head into a new phase for the franchise and can now begin to build around a new core that features Suggs, Simmons, and Pascal Siakam. Toronto emerges as the big winner from the NBA Draft.
